[Vwdiesel] Filtering Lubes and Fuels. 101 --- ( for beginners )

[Chuck Carnohan]

Wow Hagar!  Like you said, this forum is a fantastic source of
information and the- albeit "long distance" friendships are rewarding
also!  I had no idea that FILTERS were more than just particle reducing
screens but the idea of STATIC makes a lot of sense!
I'm sure proud that Svend is still with us on this forum and continues
to provide inspiration and insight into the workings of diesels and
history. 'Ol Hagar is one wise and experienced fellow that has taught
and/or reinforced many things important to Rabbits and life!
