[Mr Ed]

I separated 3 months ago, and they have made my morning very entertaining reading your funny comments.
Thank you :)

Not only am I in this forum for what they contribute technically speaking, but I also find it to be a very entertaining community,
THANK YOU.

In my view if we can't waffle somewhere safe like on here, then I think most of us would be a public liability.

Not quite sure how "waffle" translates in Spanish?

Back on topic the greengrocer where I buy our weekly fruit supplies plastic bags to it the fruit in.  They're big enough to take an ERR 3340 filter. Mrs. D puts them to an unmentionable second use.

Hi,

Weld/braze a nut near the bottom of the filter, then use the hole in the nut as a jig to drill through the filter body, try not to damage the thread. Plug the hole in the nut with a short screw and brass washer. Replace filter on engine, start engine for a few seconds to fill the filter, stop and top up oil level.

Note! The hole does not need to be at the bottom of the filter, half way down will suffice ... provided you don't forget that it is NOT completely empty.

I suppose that a real clever-clogs could liberate a plumbing fitting to accept a tapered plug? Or a petrol tap off a motor cycle fuel tank. Whatever turns you on! Cork? Small hole and self tapper?

PS. I wonder if Past Parts could drill and tap the long screw, to accept a bleed nipple? Should I resume taking the tablets?

The problem is with a spin on filter you'd have to do it every time the filter was changed. The expensive piece of plastic is for use with spin on filters. It wouldn't work with the replaceable element type because the retaining bolt would get in the way.

I understood very well, THANK YOU

Regarding the plastic bag, a very good idea, I have a business where we change oil, I will mention it to the workers, it will surely be of interest to them...

[Alan Drover]

The simplest ideas are the best. I'll now be giving a single use plastic bag a second use.
