[Healeys] A Mystery

[Tom Felts]

I can only speak for a BJ8.  It came equipped with a sock-type filter over the PU tube--inside the tank.

It was whitish in color --mesh type---and as I remember some cloth-like material.

What kind of 'filter' is there in the tank?  Anyone have a photo?

We dismantled an original BN2 tank, and there was nothing but a tube to 
(almost) the bottom.

The in-tank filter was chocked full of "stuff".  I pulled it, sealed the tank, added an in-line filter and never had the problem again.
