How to clean serviceable fuel filter

[BOAH]

What is the best way to clean the screen inside the fuel filter? The manual says to use a solvent but it doesn't say what kind of solvent??

Thanks

I use some spray carb cleaner, but most any solvent will do....paint thinner, acetone, etc.,etc....I blow mine out with an air hose after cleaning....good luck!

Thanks, Robert

I thought about carb cleaner but I thought you aren't supposed to use it on plastic or rubber.

Thanks

carb cleaner is ok, some brake cleaners will dissolve plastic.

I use that Walmart brand carb cleaner,$1.97/can....darn good stuff...won't hurt that filter element, body or O-ring....great for wasps, hornets, spiders, etc.!....
