Yes...I have...and washed out a very clogged filter before as well. When
your out in the middle of no where and your water supply for the truck runs
our (cleaning water), you make due with what you've got. Ever run your
truck with a fully clogged filter? Ever taken a dump in the woods? Ever
taken a leak in a stream while fishing?
(Bah....Tree Huggers...) ;)

Negative on that. Ever filter water from a stream?? and since one must
rinse the K&N from clean side to dirty side, dirt is gonna get trapped on
the motor side....
Besides, the cleaning soap is bad for all the lil freshwater teleosts
swimmin around. Washes their slime off, introducing bacteria, which in turn
causes many many probs.. blah, reminds me of my fish physi. class :)
anyhow, I've never gotten mine dirty enough to wash from a weekend of
fourwheelin
