Is it legal to use a paper gas filter housed in a clear plastic housing, as often found in an "impulse-buy" display next to the cash register at a car parts store? I used one of those on my VW bus for 26 years and had one on my lawn mower. The real point being is that if one adds a filter to screen out bits of brown crud (old frothingslosh??) and one cannot readily see the filtering element and one also has a brown crud problem, how does one know when it's really loaded and about to starve the engine?
