"Washable" K&N Air Filter

How exactly do you wash these, and what with.

It's not the foam type, it appears to be made of the same stuff as a
normal air filter.

 

Petrol of paraffin, IIRC.

Paper, you mean? Yeah, I'm fairly sure the last time I used these back
in the '70s we'd just use petrol to clean them.

 

Of course, you could have just googled it.

I had thought about dunking it in petrol or paraffin, but wasn't too
sure. The temptation would have been too great not to set fire to it
to see if that was also part of the cleaning process.

Heh, no need now, cheers matey ;-)

 

I've got a cleaning & oil set cluttering up the garage. Yours for the
cost of the postage.

 

Sounds like a plan, email me how much you need, I can paypal it to you
if you like. works

 

Petrol/paraffin fucks up the micro'oles. K&N sell a cleaning fluid,
which is basically soapy water, but keep the 'oles open.

 

Grimly Curmudgeon took a blunt brush and painted...

That's why he said he thought of burning the holes back in afterwards.
