Tank rust - need a good inline filter as a temporary solution
« on: September 13, 2012, 12:29:01 PM »
Pulled my carbs off last night and found, among other things, that bowl #1 had a bunch of rust in it. I have a new petcock w/ filter AND an inline filter, so I thought I'd be okay. Wrong.

Looks like I'm going to have to deal with the rust in my tank. As y'all know, these F tanks are pricey - WHEN you can find 'em, even if they're in so/so shape. PO did a sh1t job of lining mine with Kreme, so I'll either have to remove the old liner & reline or look for a new tank (that may or may not need cleaning/painting/lining)...

In the meantime, it would seem that the crappy little plastic inline filter that I'm using isn't really filtering anything. So I'm looking for a better one. Suggestions?

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Show us what you are using?
Some of may be using the same thing, and like you, think it is working.
I got this one like cb650 posted from autozone:

I like these because it's clear glass so you can see what's going on and the filter element is replaceable.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

I had a paper element one for a while but it was too restrictive.  It was Ok for the top half of the tank but the bottom half it would not run right.
I like the looks of the one above.
But I use one of these, the 90 degree makes it easy to install on the 750F
