But I guess I should clarify, When I got my '80, it had a hella case of 'black death', I was cleaning primary filters @ less than 3k. I actually had 2 primary filters plumbed in-line so that I could pull the one closest to the tank and still have one inline. I guess I got used to cleaning them.

However, that being said...

PEOPLE!!! these are entirely PLASTIC filters, anyone who thinks that it takes more energy to use some CITRUS based solvent and a little hot water to clean and re-use them VS. Crude oil pumped from the ground in saudi arabia, pumped 500 miles to a tanker, unloaded @ some refinery in Turkey (or God knows where) Cleaned, Cracked, trucked to a blow molding facility, molded into 3 seperate pieces, those pieces joined, boxed (don't forget the trees), loaded into a container, Shipped ACROSS the Atlantic Ocean!!!, Unloaded @ NJ or LA or God knows where, Trucked to a warehouse, unloaded, trucked again to a pep boys, stocked, and then sold to the end user (complete with a paper reciept) is completely delusional!!!

RANT OFF!!:fork_off: :fork_off:
