Engine conversions

[Bob Phillips]

Phil:
Further to your comments re oil filter locations I remind all that many trucks had arctic/winter dilution kits in them. These involved a small gas reservoir at the top of the windshield which was filled up by an electyric pump controlled by a timer. I believe a similar kit was used on some armoured vehicles as well.
It would make sense that the filter waqs located close to a heat source (manifold) to help evaporate off the gasoline once the engine was started next morning. I wonder how long it would take to evaporate off the gas??
