Funny, I knew exactly what you were talking about. I guess it must be all
that training down at Gus's.
I think sludge traps are sort of like arteries or sumpthin'. Everyone I
have ever had out has had a lot of sludge in it. I think it can build up
pretty quickly, but it rarely plugs right up. If it does, that is
probably bad. Also I would say that after it builds up, it probably is
not as effective at removing the contaminents.
Change your oil often.

That's what killed my Eldo before its long hibernation. I had to have the machine shop get the plug out. Kevin Graf wrote:
