I do need to change out the rubber hoses for better stuff because of the ethanol in the gas, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
The one under the truck is just hanging in space, so I don't see any issue with plastic there. I like the plastic because I can see how dirty these are. Last one was full of junk after only 1500 miles, which I think is from the fuel line since the tank is new.
The glass filters are bad because they can shatter easily, and the gaskets in them don't always seal the best. |
Lattimer, Looking at your truck....Can you come over and help me with mine?
Ten Ring, I have used the steel ones like Stocker posted for many years and have one on my truck now, i have also used the plastic kind that Lattimer uses and never had an issue. That's not to say that some of the others may be better, i just never used them as my application just hasn't been that fancy. I agree one before the pump and one after is best, cant say i have always done so.
