The standard strainers from Europa can best be described as bolt catchers. I wanted to have better initial strainers and decided to have some made similar to Graham Singleton's design which incorporates a water / fuel drain.

Tony did all the hard work on these machining out the alloy bosses which have 3 off 1/4" NPT female holes. One off the holes is plugged off and could be used for a level tube. The other is the main fuel feed port to the Andair selector. The end tapped hole has an elbow screwed in to it which has a 1/4" stainless tube bonded in to the end of it. This tube is supported at the end by an aluminium fitting that closes of the filter screen. The 1/4" tube is then bent down and angled off so that it sits parallel with the floor of the tank and about 3mm above the base of the tank. The strainer has been manufactured out of 316ss 40 mesh gauze.
