Yes and me - saturated.

Must check the manual for servicing and change timings............. Like your boat roof in the 'Paint' postings - thought you were getting ready for painting another totem pole.

Doesn’t look in the slightest bit clogged to me. 

As written, I have never taken one to bits, so it's difficult to compare, but presumably they designed be dry, bearing in mind the cost, fitting a new one is worthwhile. I will have a look at mine next time I'm on the boat.

For comparison purposes, here is a filter taken from my 2LW today.  The engine has done 3000 hrs since a complete rebuild.  The filter has done 200 hours.  The filter element is dry to the touch, and smells faintly of engine oil.  I cannot see any visible smoke or fumes coming from the breather filter when the engine is running.

Hi,

 

Good advert for Dremel cutters.......... I think the difference between the two filters explains the problem.
