    Tools that younger people would not recognize.

    We've tried every concoction on the market, then some to prevent 3XXX series stainless hardware from gulling in application. The minute you heat cycle the connection, your done unless you get very lucky.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    98 MASTERCRAFT SAM DUVALL EDITION- 2 CANISTER FUEL FILTERS?

    People tend to change the inexpensive stick, rock and hose liner (neglected fuel line) catching filters annually. They neglect the expensive, 10 micron separating filters doing all the work. Often just dumping out contaminates and reusing the filter.
