Home made fuel filter

[Geo-TH,In]

Home made fuel filter for my 4010 kaw
mule.
See if you can tell what silver pipe I
used

I removed it today and cleaned the screen.
The pipe fits the tank fill spout.

I don't know the diameter of the hole it goes in so my guess is a shower spout.

Circumcised tail pipe from the Kubota. Jim

Chrome brass sink tail piece.

You got it right, sink tail pipe. It fits perfectly.
My idea of keeping the crap out of the gas tank on the mule.
I removed some grass clippings from the screen today.

I have a funnel with a very fine screen, that works for me.

 

[Geo-TH,In]

I have 3 metal funnels with metal screens.
It is difficult to use a funnel on the mule.
Hold the funnel with one hand and good luck holding a 5 gallon gas can with the other hand.

 

[Russ from MN]

The other problem with using a funnel is you can't tell how much fuel is in the tank. I have seen fuel tanks with an inlet screen like yours from the factory.

I keep a length of wire on larger funnels to wire it to the machine while filling, keeps both hands on buckets, especially oil buckets.

I take it you leave that filtering sump pipe in all the time?

Does the screen filter out water like some?
