The cotton/gauze model must be oiled to operate properly. You should be = able to get the proper oil from the dealer where you obtain the filter. = I used this type of filter for many years when I had a weber on my '74 = bus. It's a good idea to buy two filters if you decide to go this route. = Keep a clean one that can be oiled and installed while the dirty one is = cleaned and dried. -Mark McCulley ---------- >From: James Brill[SMTP:jbrill@unlinfo.unl.edu] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 1996 7:32 AM ========================================================================= Date: Sender: Vanagon Mailing List <vanagon@vanagon.com> From: Subject: Weber progressive air filters I received in the mail yesterday my JCWhitney VW catalog. In it they=20 show an air filter for my Weber DFEV 32/36. One model is paper and=20 about $4. The other is cotton/gauze and is about $6. It is claimed=20 to be reusable. Any comments on these or other filters for this=20 carburetor? The only one I can find locally is at a speed=20 shop and they want $20 for it. This, again, is one I can clean and=20 reuse. If the cheap ones filter effectively I wouldn't mind just=20 throwing on a new one every few thousand miles. Of course, I am a guy who likes to change his oil every 1,000 miles. I didn't trust GEX to=20 tap the case for a filter. Thanks, Jim --=20 James A.
