Man I love my snow blower! However I've never seen a piece of power equipment that was more sensitive to a speck of dirt in the fuel in my life! It's got a Tecumseh (sp?) engine on it and the little carb is easy to deal with. In fact a strand of copper wire and a 9/16 wrench is all it takes to pull the metering orifice and clean it out. Doing this when it's 15 degrees and getting gas on my hands pretty much sucks though! So out to the web I go and find Mr. Funnel. I ended up buying a few of the small ones to give to my relatives that have had similar issues (that I've had to go fix). Seems the big place these are used is in the Ultralight and small aircraft industry. The filter arangement filters out small particles and even seperates water out! If I was flying I could REALLY see the benefit here. Could also see the benefit if I had a race car that I was filling from a 55 gallon drum. May not be much interest but just in case here is the link. They say Home Despot is a dealer but none of my local stores had them. http://www.mrfunnel.com/ regards
