Such a procedure should prevent the collected dust from entering the engine or into…

I use these in my 6 gallon fuel. Master wet/dry vacuuming as I clean our Harman pellet stove every few weeks during the winter. Pellet ash is a very fine dust and standard. The filter allows too many ultrafine particles to pass through the vacuum and into the exhaust. In the end you see it as a fine dust on lamps/surfaces/etc. This filter significantly reduces gas breakthrough. It's a bit pricey but you can clean it multiple times during the season by tapping the edges and removing a lot of…
