Subject:      Trasko Oil Filter
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

After a few contacted me regarding a group purchase of the Trasko filter, I decided to email Trasko-Usa to determine their level of interest in such a proposal and requested more information on the technical aspects of their filter.

Hopefully we will see a reply that will clarify the product or reveal it's "snake-oil" qualities. Here is the email I sent:
