[SEL] Oil bath air filter help needed

[Elden DuRand]

Curt:

If you can get at it, fish out all the old filter material.  It's probably quite similar to a pot scrubbing pad, one of the bronze looking ones you can get at a supermarket.  Stuff in the new stuff and you're good to go.

.........I'll never tell!

Take care - Elden
