[C320-list] Engine ate what it shouldn't

[Warren Updike]

According to Foley Engines who are Perkins dealers, the Perkins engines do not have filters in the air intake.  If you do put one in, make sure it is the type of foam used for air filters and not the soft foam that breaks down easily.  I bought a foam replacement filter for a shop vac at a box store and cut out a piece.  I'm not sure if I'll continue to use it.
