I have recently been told about a BB that had an engine out because of fuel starvation, because of a blockage in the petrol tank. To minimise the risk, a sieve MUST be soldered to the brass fitting that goes into the tank. The chances for al those 100`s of hole all getting blocked at the same time, is minimal. See pic.
I use a rather large paper filter. GUD no: BC 31. It has a nice big filter area, so will not block up quickly. ( Note: This is for non prelube petrol systems!!)
Be aware!! Please fly safe.
