There is a phenomenon on the internet where peple will post false posts so they get "noticed" and feel important. Witness the posting a few months ago by PackardV8 wherein he said that electric fuel pumps were huge or enormous(??) and were 10 times the size of a mechanical fuel pump. that would make them the size of a case of beer where in actuality they are the size of a couple of D call batteries.

AS you know I dissected 3 Fram filters from the 50's through present and all were built similarly. I would suggest you get a used one and see if there is any piece of metal used in its construction as thick and with such a wide radius as is pictured. The only metal is any consequence inside is the center tube which is about 3/4" in diameter, .060" thick and perforated.

I could have taken a salamander, put it in the hole and said there are alligators in Fram Filters or for that matter, Republicans.

The explnatio of the race car with low pressure does not withstand a logical inquiry.

You can't fool all of the people all of the time but it seems some can't stop trying.
