So here is the situation: The clutch for my kart has metalic shoes which need to be cleaned using WD-40 which I do after each race day. Ive taken to dropping all the parts into a bucket of WD-40 and running it through the ultrasonic parts washer. This part works great. After, Im letting dirt settle for a week then decanting the clean portion off the top. This part works but isnt the greatest.
In effort to avoid accidentially spilling a half gallon of the stuff and generally improve things, I decided to try filtering it. The filter paper and funnel method I tried didnt work well. The filter paper quickly clogged and stopped draining. Not enough pressure. Recently I got a cheap fuel pump and a oil filter relocation kit. Moves the oil well enough but I discovered the dirt passes straight through a regular automotive oil filter as well as the 10 micron filter I tried. Apparently this is really fine stuff.
Ive been kinda eyeing the Franz bypass filters but it seems like a kinda expensive experiment/solution for what Im doing. Any thoughts on a *cheap*, and preferably not messy or accident prone, alternative? Ie perhaps could a house water filter be used?
