Curti Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I need to purchase a number (20-30) of these, what I believe to be inline fuel strainers. I have been to the local auto parts stores and all they have to offer is plastic. Does any one have any ideas? I need them to make the dual ratio stop strainer part in pix3 .

MCHinson Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Model A Ford Suppliers have a similar strainer made out of stainless steel designed to go into the bottom of a Model A Ford Gas Tank. If you don't find exactly what you are looking for you might be able to modify one of those.

Rusty_OToole Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Looks like the sintered bronze filter found in some sixties carburetors (Rochester?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 I Googled "sintered bronze filter Rochester" and clicked on IMAGES. There are two pix of this screen filter. So these screens may well be a internal part of a 60's Rochester carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Mc Master-Carr sells filter screen mesh by the sq foot in pretty much any size and type in both brass and SS. I've made any number of filters using brass. The edges solder like a dream. Those in your pix look fairly easy to fabricate..........Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 We have the screen already, it is used on the top of the sediment bowl in AC type B fuel pumps. I have monkeyed around trying to make them with mixed results. On the original part, there was no solder seam, it seems to be pressed together.I would rather find a source and buy them.

HarryLime Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Spark arrestor in the Stihl leaf blower muffler. Size looks very close and they are made of stainless. Hard to compare the mesh size from pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 I found the fuel strainer at an on-line company called quadrajetparts.com Bought 15 of them. They are used in Holleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
