[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 134240, member: 3426"] Thanks for the replies... I still think I would like to have a screen in the feed line. When cleaning the tank, I checked some of the primordial slime to see how much of it would stick to a magnet. Roughly 98%. It makes sense to have clean oil returning to the tank and also makes sense to filter it before it feeds the heads so the resulting pressure doesn’t increase the flow to the rockers too much. If I was using a new oil tank or was positive nothing other than oil was ever going to enter the feed pipe, I would just rely on filtering the return. Maybe it has more to do with the tank sitting, but it looked like a lot of the shards were the result of corrosion caused by condensation. Less likely that would occur now given it should receive better care, but without disemboweling the tank completely, I can’t guarantee there aren’t one or two left lurking in there. In theory they should just settle at the bottom of the pond and not make it up through the holes in that cigar tube that sits over the outlet. Although.... in this one, those holes are very close to the bottom. [/QUOTE]
