Bryan,
?? When confronted with the same circumstances, my choice was to install two inline glass gas filters (sinctured), one for?each tank. Boy, am I glad I did. The trash could be seen in the filter and I was removing them every five hours or so to clean them. A friend?suggested to install two temporary fuel shut off valves that allowed me to close the fuel off and clean the filters with little effort or mess. After about thirty hours the problem cleared up.

Subject: [LML] Cleaning Tanks and In-Fuel Filters


Just finishing up a Lancair 360 and have some questions: 
1)?What is the best way to clean out the fuel tanks before first flight? ?(I poured 2 gallons of 100LL in them and sloshed it around and drained it out the fuel drain but didn't seem to get all of it.)




2) I have the stock fuel system in my 360, which means the 2 wing tanks get pumped into the header tank via transfer pumps then the header feeds the engine. I have an Andair Gascolator installed between the Header and the boost pump to the engine. ?

Should I use an Inline fuel filter if so where in the system and what type.?




Thanks

Bryan
