Nigel & Graham & others,
With respect to your comments:
--
I use Mr Funnel too but you need to remember that it has a 120mu mesh
filter. The Andair gascolators have 70 micron, Rotax specify 100mu. It
is
possible to block an Andair with rust particles that just got through a
Mr
Funnel. The tiny crystals are small enough to wedge themselves into the
Andair mesh.<
It might be an idea to see if we can retrofit a Mr Funnel with a 70
micron
filter. Provided that it has a large enough surface area it shouldn't
impede
the fuel filling too much. Perhaps we can get Andair to look into it?
What
do you think Graham?

Have you checked ACS recently? The latest version of the Mr.Funnel,
v.F15C now has a 74 micron filter.

Perhaps replacement filters are available from Mr.Funnel to upgrade
your existing Mr.Funnels? Check with
http://www.mrfunnel.com/
They have numbers and e-mail posted for technical support. If it's a
problem to call from the UK, let me know and I'll call them from this
side of the pond.
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
