Interesting fuel filter

[TassieTiger]

Those fuel filters still have the capacity to be used as decent fuel filters - some ppl would like the look of one of those filters in the bay vs a plastic inline...so your kinda saying that if person A wants one in his show car, he can have one as long as he’s not a licensed firearm owner?

Good find, but I don't think a fabricated silencer counts when we're discussing legally owning them. Legal or illegal, anybody can fabricate them, that shouldn't have any bearing on our laws.

At least here in the USA, from what I know, the idea behind the "solvent traps" is that they are threaded on the other end to accept not a fuel filter but a regular oil filter and judging from Youtube videos they seem to work ok for a while but I don't think they last long.

Don't know if I mentioned it in the past but here in the USA you can make your own suppressor legally, but you need to file a Form 1 with the BATFE and pay your $200 tax stamp. Once you get that back you can buy the parts and make it.

Tassie, i know you are just being argumentative... But please use a better example... let's argue is the right headlight actually smaller or is it the angle... lol

While i do agree that we need sound moderators for OH&S issue.

But can you explain what vehicle comes with that type of fuel filter as standard or as a legal optional extra?

It looks like s**t, smells like s**t, tastes like s**t....its 100% gonna be s**t. Hehehe

They're an aftermarket fuel filter typically used in diesel engines as an addition to the existing factory fuel filter set up. WIX manufacturers many types of filters and the 24003 has been available for years.

I agree entirely. It would be interesting to see the statistics for the UK and NZ where suppressors were used or not in commission of a crime. My feeling is that they are not used despite being readily available.

I may've missed your point but the filter in question is part no. 24003. You've quoted part no. 42003...an entirely different animal

Colin Winchester with a suppressed 10/22 in the 80's.

Interesting - It was back when they were legal to possess.

I don't know about ACT but they were still legal in the early eighties in SA - $20 each, often a boxfull of them on the counter beside the till for impulse buyers

Were they the GSA models? Pretty sure they had 'Made in Australia - stop noise pollution' stamped on the body to give an idea of the more sensible thinking of yore.

I really don't remember as I never actually used it, I wasn't equipped or capable of threading a barrel back then
It was quite compact, maybe eight-inches long and an inch diameter, all blued steel, with threaded end caps. The threaded end had a short extension to fit the barrel thread. I left it in Adelaide when I went back to Perth in '85.

They sold slip on adapters for common rifles too so you didn't have to thread. I nearly bought one when in Adelaide in the mid-late 80's but luckily didn't as they were not legal in Victoria at the time.

Haha! Don't mean to be nit picky...let's call it a draw
