I installed this K&N high-flow air cleaner, and
 nothing drips any more. Seems the few drops of fuel just gets absorbed

by

 the washable air filter element, and nothing drips out of the air

cleaner

 assembly. I tried several starts and re-starts, and there is no

evidence

 of
 fuel anywhere.  I suspect that the few drops of fuel that are absorbed

by

 the air cleaner element just slowly evaporate, because when I removed

the

 air cleaner about 1/2 hour after shutdown, I could find no traces of

fuel

 anywhere.  Here are a couple of pictures of the installation. Any and

all

 comments, as usual, are very welcome.  Paul Conner, 13b powered SQ2000

Very nice installation. The air cleaner seems to have a very small

surface

area. There should be room for a pair of streamlining air horns in the

box with

one throat diameter between the end of the horn and the cover. Is there

any

porting done to the engine?

 Hi, Lynn....no, no porting... it is a 1989 turbo model engine but running

normally aspirated.
The air cleaner was originally for a BMW sports car.  Thanks for the
complement.  Paul Conner
