Re: [T3] Rocks in a tin can sound

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

I had a problem when I put some fuel in a plastic bottle to squeeze into the
carb lines as a primer bulb, and got tiny flakes of plastic into the freshly
cleaned carb (luckily not a Type 3).  Blocked the idle jet!

I agree. Unless you have an overflow hose problem, the gas will be clean, it
just passed thru the filter screen, and it will be as clean as it would have
been anyway, on its way to the filter before the pump.
