Re: [T3] cleaning stock air cleaner

["Marc Bona" <chillz1@hotmail.com>]

These don't require frequent maintenance, but I read a Hoover article once
that suggested that these can be cleaned by immersing it in kerosene.  The
grass blades that you see might be the filter element itself.  I read that
the filter material is coir, the hairy stuff on the shell of a coconut.  If
you soak it in kerosene, be sure to let it air out for a *long* time before
you reassemble the filter and put in on your car.  I would probably wait
several days.



....actually,i'm quite sure it's not the element...i'm able to get most of 
it with needle-nosed pliers,but some remains.It is on the oil bath side of 
the air cleaner so hopefully it wont get through the element.
Any suggestions?
