I really don't want to stir things up again but.
I have been using automotive Fram G1 fuel filters since day one VW powered
MKIIIC with great results. They are made in Israel and have steel end caps
that are securely attached.
They have the following benefits:
They are cheap app. $3 at Farm & Fleet and well made. Why spend more?
They work good with ethanol, they have been designed and well tested with
it.
They don't need to be screwed together just right and don't unscrew in
flight. Lets call it fool proof.
They have lots of filter area
They filter at least as fine as the clearview filters and most likely much
finer.
I can get them most anywhere.
I don't need to change the glass tube to aluminum to make them safe.
I can also see if they are getting clogged but with the low cost I change
them once a year just because.
They filter 100LL just fine.
They have enough fuel flow capacity for my 302 V8 powered Cobra so they are
fine for my VW.
I don't know how they work with an oil mixture. I also don't know how they
would stand up to water because I have a gascolator before the filter that
at least minimizes the chance of water in the fuel. I do know I have one in
my Cobra (car) that hasn't been changed in ten years and is still in good
condition.
