Including filter insert.

This was an exact replacement for a cracked filter. It arrived very quickly and was hooked up to the fuel line straight away. It worked perfectly for me. I am very happy.

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Good price: Filter

My old housing was leaking, not because of the gasket but because of a thread defect. Luckily only the bottom black part was damaged so I was able to leave the old top part attached and just use the bottom part. Supplied with matching filter and seals.

Pros
  • Build quality
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something

Replacement filter housing fits perfectly

Last winter I noticed the fuel filter housing was leaking with tiny pinholes. I was able to get the replacement shipped within 2 days and it was quickly replaced in the oven as it was pretty much an exact replacement.

Pros
  • Testers give high marks for support and durability
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Great filter, some sealing issues.

Great primary filter installed on the outlet end of my fuel tank. The only issue I had was having to tighten the lid way more than necessary to keep it sealed. Maybe a smoother surface on the top forged cap would help seal better? Anyway I was able to make this seal and it works great!.

Pros
  • Good Stuff
Cons
  • Obsolete

Exact Replacement - Parts

Replaced the original fuel tank on my oil burner. It remains only to remove the accessory and replace it with a new one. Be sure to use an approved fuel oil line additive. I used Megaloc blue. The only difference to the original is the lower screw head. The original hex is 1/2 inch and the new one is torx. Not sure of the size as this unit came with a filter installed. I think I'll find out when I change the filter next season.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Not Sure

The manufacturer does not respond to support requests via email!

Mine arrived bolted on and I assume it has a filter in it. I have read that it is. I had to check but felt like it would kill the seal so I assumed it was ok NO! Now that he's on duty, he cries a little. I have contacted the company's support regarding this but they have not yet responded. You can't tighten it anymore. It is slammed at the factory with pneumatic tools. I think the gasket needs to be removed and replaced. Well! Must be repaired immediately after installation. I suggested to the…

  • I don't really like it, it's ok
