Ira,

Did he gave the rationale about this advice ?
Too low filtering power ?
Too easily clogged ?
After all, millions of four-stroke road vehicles, and thousands of 
airplanes are running with paper filters and without any problem.
Or wasn't he talking about two-stroke engines ? Paper filters are a 
no-no for two-strokes, due to the oil in the fuel blocking the filtering 
element.

But what did he find wrong with paper filters in a four-stroke ?

> 2) Gascolators are best option
We're using an Andair gascolator too.
