There are 61 bronze washers .50mm thick. Each washer has on one side a number of raised segments .02mm high. The washers are stacked on a nylon frame which is pierced by the nylon fuel pipe which runs up the right frame member to the fuel pump. Fuel in the tank must pass through the spaces created by the raised segments on the bronze washers to reach the fuel pipe.
