Today I acquired...........

[Parm]

Fram fuel filter. Not seen one for sale in the UK, a few glass bowls in the states, but they are always chipped on the lip, so they leak, as mine does.

Got it stripped down, even the rubber is good.

Bowl is currently steeping in white vinegar

Next question, what does it fit onto?

Some pipes.

What ever you want to filter fuel. On my truck its connected to the carb via a 1/4bsp nipple. I’ll use the ‘T’ so I can see fuel pressure after the filter.

What's the difference between the Fram and a AC one?

Haven't a clue. Its a Fram that’s fitted to the truck so that’s what I looked for.

In that case I will leave the question opened.
Thanks for the reply.

I may have a few Scammel ones left at big play pen.

No problem. Any idea how I can clean the glass up. White vinegar didnt touch it



Edit; solved, a bit of worn scotchbrite did the trick. Possibly lead from proper petrol

 

[arther dailey]

Been after one of these for 7yrs... only ever see used with cracked glass bowls, never with the filter inside. Took a punt on this one, looked to be unused. And it is
Took some separating from the rubber seal, glass is cloudy, inside is like new. Happy days

Hot water washing up liquid and sugar.

Hot water washing up liquid and sugar.

Sugar? I’d forgotten about this, we use Salt, any reason for Sugar

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I have had better results when cleaning fuel systems glass with sugar. But it does need a bloody good wash through.
But it does shine the glass well.
But don't cross contaminate anything else with the dirty fluids.

The need for glasses

First eye test ever, he was reading a list of what is wrong, thought it would never end...

I have a scar on my eye from a light bulb exploding and getting glass in it, he said 1mm higher and it would have affected my vision

I went for Land Rover frames, ive already heard all the jokes

 

[Brad93]

Some acids would probably sort though.

did you go for ones that let you see new things?
or protective ones?

(discovery, or defender? )

If you are going to use it with petrol, that rubber will fail pretty quick - modern fuel will rot it in double quick time.

Hired a "Ford Kuga" type car and got upgraded to a Volvo XC60 with leather and loads of toys for nowt

Edit it's the B5 diesel mild hybrid with 235 bhp and supposedly 0 to 60 in 6.7secs. I've got the wife and kids in it so not really booted it but seems quite lively. Getting about 40mpg according to the 'puter. I like the heads up display on the windscreen.

A new marking square from banggood: 4 days for delivery from china!

I bought it because i struggle to accurately mark around curved edges of box section with a standard combination square: it always ends up being a half mm offby the time ive done four sides - worse on CLS

Have you a link for that, it looks very useful!
