Hello,
Both Zama (now owned by Stihl) and Walbro a big customer of Stihl both make several varieties of felt based fuel filter pickups. At one time Stihl actually used the Walbro felt filters. I don't know about Zama.
For some reason Stihl stopped using this technology quite a while ago. Were any of you around when this switch occurred and remembers why? I am looking for decent AM fuel filters to avoid the high cost ($10) of the current OEM Stihl product? But I also don't want to start using the felt filters if there was valid reason for abandoning them.
I believe that Kufner in Germany makes the current line of Stihl fuel filter pickups:

Do any of you know if there is an AM source for the Kufner filters?
Thanks,
Steve
