Default Re: Very dirty filter bowl

When I bought our Little Green Roadster over a year ago, I saw that the inside of the tank was very dirty. Brown-red. Inside mounted was the wire filter tube. Therefore I threw a couple of thick brass nuts into the tank. Always put a little bit MMO in it. (MMO contains esters that have very strong dissolving properties.) In addition, a fine micronic paper filter in the carburetor line.

I was very surprised that so much dirt (not magnetic) accumulates in the bowl. Now I will check the bowl every 1000 mls.

I will not remove the tank. The screws and the slots are screwed up. Not worth it.
