★ A proper seal on the oil bowl is essential for the operation of the oil bath air filter system. This gasket ensures that all incoming air flows through the oil bath and filter gauze for optimal filtration.
Installation notes
Thoroughly clean the contact surfaces of both the filter section and the oil bowl before fitting the new gasket. Ensure the gasket is fitted flat and without creases. After assembly, check for any leaks by tightening the retaining clip properly.
Historical context
The oil bath air filter system was standard on military jeeps during WWII. The oil bowl captures heavy dust particles in the oil bath, whilst finer particles are retained by the oil-wetted filter gauze. This system was 98-99% efficient for dust larger than 5 microns.
