Nope. And I saw certain Jeeps get new carbs again and again and again. I had a problem Jeep like that at Minto Armoury, and another in camp Dundurn, and when I tried to set the float level, realized there was a fine red sand in the bottom of the float bowl. It was rust. Best solution was to replace the tank. The stone filter was just too course to filter out the rust particles, and they would cause the needle to stick. I started to install fuel filters, but it was so close to the end of service for the M38A1s, there was no point doing a TFR.
I liked using the M151A2 filter right at the carb, but the best solution was to remove the top of the fuel pump, clean out the sediment that collected there, then cut the rubber line before the pump and install an inline filter.
You also have to remember that back then the Jeeps were only around 15 years old. Now they are 50.
