How to clean the Foam Air Filter of my portable generator for my home ?
Generator’ manual says clean it with an agent . It doesn’t explain what agent .
So, what chemical or agent should i use to clean it properly ?
Kindly, explain the whole procedure . What about the oil that is saturated in the foam air filter ?
thanks in advance


I’ve cleaned foam air filters in the laundry tub. Hot water spray across the surface removes much of the dirt. Then put dish detergent on the filter and work it through. That should remove much of the oil and the smaller dust particles along with it. Repeat a couple of times until the filter appears clean. Let it dry fully, apply a light coating of oil, and reinstall in the generator.
