Kolbers,
About a month ago there was quite a discussion about air filter cleaning,
oiling etc., under the subject "One Thing At A Time".
A couple of days ago I was at a farm implement dealer to pick up some parts
for my lawn mower. While there I walked down the line of used commercial
zero turn mowers. I noticed one had little gadget attached to an air
cleaner. It was a "Filter Minder". I Goolged it and found out it is made
by a http://www.filterminder.com. Evidently they supply K&N as can be seen
at: http://www.knfilters.com/filterminder.htm.
The beauty of this device is that one does not have to watch it continuously
to determine what the pressure drop is over the filter element. It records
and maintains the highest recorded drop across the filter medium. More than
likely this will happen at max rpm, and so one can watch it over a period
of time to see how the pressure drop increases and decide at what point to
change/clean the filter.
FWIW - you may want to check it out.
