Good to talk with you Bud,
I dont do so well with imperial/US measurements but can struggle through when I
must.
Back to the filters:
Most of the fuel filters of this "type" have poor quality casings, have pleated
"paper" type filters and many are opaque (making it impossible to asses
contamination
build up)
The Hengst H102WK & H103WK are almost indestructible. Have gauze filters and
clear
casings - they are more like $10 each Australian, if bought singly but you
can get them down to about $6 Au if purchased in quantity.
Like you, I was initially skeptical of the non "barbed" male hose fitting.
However
using the right sized ID hose, cut to the correct length and supported, where
appropriate, has resulted in 12 years/900hrs of no leaks, no inadvertent
detachments.
One other benefit of the non barb, is that the possibility of tearing the inside
of the hose, when temporary removal is done, is eliminated. This then eliminates
those troublesome little bits of "rubber" that may appear in your float bowl.
The H103WK has a built in 90 degree bend, making tight applications that would
benefit from this a breeze.
