TP3018 Fuel Filter C/P

[shibby6600]

Had some 10k miles on it. I wasn't sure how to get the rest of the filter apart without destroying everything, but it looked like mostly sponge and fairly clean. This filter has been sitting in my waste bin for probably 2 years now. Not sure if sitting unused is the cause of the black parts or what, but it looks like a good filter. I cut the pre-filter mesh screen off.

 

[fantastic]

black area is probably where the fuel mainly went through the filter. Fuel can turn things black from growth & particles in it.
