Clearing Gas Tank Screen

Recommended Posts

23 Reo

Can I shoot compressed air up my fuel line to clear the gas tank screen on my C-165 black hood? I'll clean it properly when I have time.

I suppose you could as a temp fix. But I would recommend simply replacing it when you have a  chance.

I know many people consider snake oils just a make believe land, but a little ATF of your preferred flavor in your fuel is a great way to clean stuff as well.  I’ve dumped a quart in an automotive fuel tank on occasion for years.  My auto shop teacher taught us that it’s an amazing detergent and will do a fuel system good.

After buying many fuel shut offs for 3 and 400 series WH's and using OEM ones I was informed that the Tecumseh ones were exactly the same for a lot less $ at our favorite WH Dealer in Beverly.  Hi Dave  :thumbs:   I think it also came with the rubber bushing.
