Dave and Graham=2C
I am puzzled by all this fuss about fuel contamination. Why have I never he
ard about a car having this problem ?
I have never noticed anything more than a spec of dust in the Andair gascol
ator. I also buy most fuel from new gas stations where the turnover is high
=2C and pour it through a funnel with built-in sieve. And I keep a full tan
k through the winter months.

Hi Graham=2C
It was a 914.
We have both tried using filter funnels while fueling=2C however the proces
s is painfully slow=2C so we are back
to using fuel straight from plastic jerry cans. We use Shell premium which
has been very clean=2C and in Ontario
there is no ethanol in it

Hi Dave
most contamination gets in when fuel is added. Rust from Jerry cans is not
uncommon=2C also algae from old fuel. You really need separate filters so t
hat if one blocks you have a get down safely reserve. 914s tend to be more
of a problem because of the high flow rate.
