My brother just stopped at a dealer to get some air filter cleaner, the guy at the desk told him to use gasoline? Does that sound right to anyone? I checked google real quick and I only found more things saying NOT to use gasoline...

Anyone ever use gas to clean your air filter? I don't want him to screw anything up even though it is a Honda [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

use mineral spirits... or.. paint thinner

you'll know when it is clean(not sticky) rinse with water.. let dry atleast 12hours(24 prefered)

then coat with SX Filter oil



gasoline eats the foam filters... don't use it

Thanks guys.

I have no idea why they would have told him that... stupid dealers..

 

warm water with pinesol does the job and also the kits they sell to clean them work

 

I do, cause then when his is forked he has to buy a new one. Then they will convince him to get an expensive one.

 

a lot of people do use gas to clean them. And it gets them really clean very fast. But it also is very hard on the filter.
