Fire hazard! for fuel filter

Harmful/defective/garbage! As others have written, the fuel tank I was planning to reuse from an old Sierra filter (same model number) either accidentally or when it was almost full ruptured on this new filter and spilled about 2 cups of gas. There's nothing wrong with an old clear shell sealed well on an old filter. During installation, the shell fell off 3 times. Thank god I found out about it before I even got on the boat. At best you'll have to deal with it on the water, at worst the boat will burn and sink. Plastic thread for a gas tank - really? Class action lawsuit pending, IMO. AVOID!

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Difficult to say
