Thimble Filter

[mikeonb4c]

We all know that the fuel filter filters the fuel passing through it but what filters the tiny fibres/dust on the new filter as it's gone from the production line in the Far East, packaged, gathered dust, transported ,opened by grubby hands in a dusty environment etc. etc.???

The thimble filter does that........

Next question - what filters the thimble filter

This and your previous suggestion strike me as pretty sound explanations I reckon.

Makes sense if all pumps have them fitted, do you know if they do Dandy?

Got to be careful with that line of argument though TGP. Someone might suggest that because no British Leyland cars from c1970 had anti-corrision protection, it wasn't necessary. The rest is - as they say - history

Hmm... I'm not sure about that theory, it has a few holes in it...

Yup it was a neat trick by them. Within a few years of manufacture, there was no evidence left to prove a car had ever existed, let alone that it had any design faults. Ashes to ashes, rust to rust

The original eco car?

Yup. Leyland were way ahead of the pack in building scrappage into their designs

Bit difficult trying to claim your scrappage fee if there's nowt left though
