Re: Was it karma? or "Why Glass Fuel Filters Suck"

Ha ha I got the idea.
But my plan is to use this (i already had it) until I know for sure my fuel system is good and ready to go. THEN I'll run straight over to Oreillys and get the metal canister

Old thread but those pieces of junk have been listed as the cause of of a great number of engine fires on the net and elsewhere A lot of guys run them because they think they are cool looking and just as many be cause they think they like to see the fuel go through them. Others think they will be able to change the cartridge.
