David,
I liked your work on this project. Filtration is the remaining project I have to undertake on my parts washer.
The 2/03 Auto Restorer magazine had an article where the fellow recommended a tractor fuel filter from Tractor Supply that has 2 internal mesh screens that can be cleaned TSC # 3350-0059A (bar code # 3494? 00335), Poly Line Strainer, Screen 90/20, NPT of 1”
then a reader recommended (6/03) using a hydraulic fluid filter - no word if anyone tried one.
The original writer tried an oil filter and found it was too good and cut his flow when it got dirty, which didn't take long.
The best approach is to use 2 baths, one for dirty parts and one for parts cleaned in the "dirty" bath. Filtering would help with both. I don't have room for 2 baths though.
