White Vinegar for Cleaning filters and other stuff

sjconnor

Hi all,

I recently decided to remove my Penta 2002 air filter and give it a good clean as I was getting black smoke in the exhaust at high revs and was advised on YBW forum that the air filter could be the culprit. As I'd not cleaned it in 13 yrs I figured that would be a good place to start.

Anyway I wanted to share the results as it was truly remarkable the cleaning capability of white vinegar. Check out these before and after pics of the filter which I soaked in white vinegar for about a day then rinsed with fresh water hose then sprayed with a little WD40

White vinegar also works as a great nontoxic solvent for cleaning epoxy of off hands, tools and everything else it ends up on.
