Not legal unless it has FAA-PMA and or STC approval. What needs to be done is to FIX THE PROBLEM, not the symptom. Especially something as serious as fuel flow. Put on a finer mesh filter and it is going to clog sooner. If you have trash in the gas, find the source and eliminate it. Bill

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?Jim BrennanNC93963WST / RI(and I think that, before encountering this group, this may have been done to one of my wing tanks by a shop in New Hampshire) _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail and Microsoft Office Outlook – together at last.
