This filter was purchased a couple of years ago, and stored in the original box. I shook the filter so any loose material would be shaken off, then half filled it with clean gasoline. Then I turned it upside down over a clean container, to drain. I placed a magnet under the container, and took another photo (#2). Finally, I wiped the threads with a piece of tissue. (#3).
