18 FLIGHT 19 AUGUST i960 Stream-Line filters for trouble-free fuel The use of Stream-Line Filters in the re-fuelling of aircraft ensures the removal of water and solid impurities from the fuel enabling complete fulfilment of official specifications. Top right is type K, a highly efficient filter consisting of a number of specially prepared paper discs compressed by springs and mounted on metal rods. Fuel passes through the minute interstices between the discs leaving solid impurities at the edges. Any water present causes the paper to swell, with a consequent increase of back pressure, which gives an indication that servicing is needed. Middle right is the Fuel Monitor designed in conjunction with the Shell Petroleum Company Ltd. This is a fully "fail-safe" device consisting of a valve and a water sensitive element con- tinuously sampling the flow of fuel and causing the main valve to close if water contaminated fuel is revealed. Bottom right is the high-output MC filter, giving what is for many purposes an acceptable filtration efficiency at a much higher rate than the K type. NEW THREE STAGE FILTER. Stream-Line Filters Ltd. have recently developed a three-stage filter/water separator which uses pleated elements made from paper, fibreglass and nylon to remove from aviation fuels all solid impurities and all water in whatever proportions they may arise.
