Plonker of the week award goes too.................. They WILL restrict the flow when clogged
Have another read of my first post and you will see that the reason for fitting one in the first place is to avoid cr*p in the carb.

no deff not me as i would not be daft enough to ask it the filter would block up when i got crap in it! , AS a mechanic of 20 years i would know its better to have the crap trapped in a filter then going into the carb/jets/engine and causing damage/running concerns.
Then again im not daft enough to get the crap in the tank to start with!!!
As has been stated you either replace them regulary or clean them, think of a air filter, that would bung up with crap if you did not clean it so do you take yours out and leave it out in fear of it restricting air?
