Syphoning pipe filter

Postby mulderpm » Tue Aug 12, 2014 11:43 am

Help!. On the end of my fuel syphoning pipe there is (was) a nylon filter. The one end of the "invisible" pipe has the ball valve and on the other was a plastic mesh filter. It is now broken and I need to replace it. Can anyone please tell me where I can get one in Pretoria or Johannesburg. I have phone Midas & Autozone and boating places but they do not know what I am talking about.

HELP :(>

I took the normal plastic filters and cut the one end open. It work perfectly.
