Moeller Universal Inline Glass View Fuel Filter (3/8", 5/16", & 1/4" Barb In Kit)

The products does what it’s supposed to do but it rusts quickly in a marine setting.

Good quality filter/strainer. The kit includes 3/8, 5/16 and 1/4 plastic barbed hose fittings. The holes in the end caps for the fittings are 1/8" NPT unlike another reviewer stated 1/4 inch. Aside from that, the way the assembly is held together, the internal filter retaining portion is threaded into the interior of the cap holes and obstructs about 30% of the already small 1/8" NPT holes.I was going to use this as a pre filter for a fuel flow sensor in the main 3/8" fuel supply line from the fuel tank to a 130 HP outboard but I am afraid the already small, partially obstructed, end cap holes will restrict fuel flow too much.Maybe Moeller offers a version with 1/4" or 3/8" NPT caps that would be better suited for larger outboard engines. There is not enough material to enlarge and re-tap the caps to accept even 1/4" NPT fittings. This application required the filter be installed in the suction portion of the fuel line, not on the pressure side of the fuel pump.Larger fitting holes would get a five star rating. The filter body is well built, but the plastic barbed fittings seriously detract from the overall quality of the product.******************NOTE********************REPLACING THE INCLUDED CHEESY PLASTIC FITTINGS WITH BRASS OR STAINLESS WILL REQUIRE 1/8" MNPT FITTINGS!

Replaced the fuel filter in my 2000 Yamaha R6, and it's a good thing I got this filter, since I ended up needing a different barb size than all my research indicated (I realize now that I should have just physically checked it on the bike before I ordered). I needed the largest barb that was included. The barbs install easily, and everything was fairly obvious. The only thing to consider before installing this product on your bike (or similar) is the size of your mounting clamp (if applicable). In my case, it was way too big with virtually no inherent way for me to reduce it to match the filter's diameter. I happened to have some adhesive foam strips that I cut to a width just a bit wider than the clamp and wrapped it around the filter where I wanted the clamp to hold it. Bingo. Probably better this way, anyway. It is a tight fit and also preferable to metal on glass. The bike and I are happy.

Used it in my boat as a primary fuel filter. Works well because it's visible and accessible with replacement filters available. After reading other reviews, I purchased brass barb connectors because I wouldn't want to trust the included plastic ones. Good choice!

I buy clearview filters regularly. They are all basically all the same. I've used about 6 different brands. The packaging, filter, & barbs, all seem the same just rebranded. 1/8" NPT female threads. I bought this brand several times, but when it got over $10 I switched to a new brand. For the last 8 or so years I've been buying clearview filters and have always been able to get them for $10 or less. Until I can no longer find them at that price point I will just keep switching between the brands.

This product is Made in Taiwan and the quality shows. All the pieces are precisely manufactured. The polished ends of the glass cylinder mate with the o-rings in the ends for a positive seal. My application (a 40 HP outboard) required the 5/16" hose bibs. The bibs screw in tightly and I don't think there would be any room for Teflon tape anyway. I tightened them down not quite to the hilt using an 11 mm box end wrench. It required about 3/4" more room than my old throw-away in-line filter so I cut a little off each end and then used SAE #4 stainless hose clamps. Now I can keep track of any fuel problems and check the condition of the filter at a glance. This kit comes with one filter. Highly recommended!

I used this Fuel Filter in my desktop computer's water cooling loop. Not exactly what it was intended for, but it works great for catching small debris that might be left in the radiator from the manufacturing process. I was a bit concerned about the flow rate, but even with the pump at it's maximum setting, this filter was not restrictive enough to pose any problems. I especially like that replacement filters are available for this filter. It's also much cheaper than purchasing a specialized water cooling inline filter. One comparable filter I looked at was over $50.00!

I really like these filters for my outboard. It's easy to see if the motor is getting fuel and it's easy to see the condition of the filter. It's a snap to clean or change filters on the water if need be.Edit 9/25/19. I still like the filter but the plastic barb fittings included with it degrade from the gasoline and leak. The filter is tapped for 1/8 inch pipe so it's a snap to change them to brass.

This item was exactly as described.
