Where I worked they bought a used Fuel Tanker Truck with the Large Tank that has scaly rust inside of it. It was used to drive around and fill the Fuel Tanks of the Refer Unit Diesel Generators.
We used a pair of the Golden Rod Filter that had what looks like the same Housing. However, we did not use the Water Blocking Elements we use something like 20 Micron Elements.

The Elements worked well but I dislike the Plastic Bowel.
In repeated Filter Changes (which I had to do a lot due to the rusty Fuel Tank the Fuel was coming from) the Plastic Bowel gets grabby when you unscrew and screw the Bowel in back in place.

If anything is gritty on the treads of the Bowel or the threads of the Housing things get worse fast and eventually.

After some use they do not seal well and because the Bowel is Plastic you cannot use like an Oil Filter Wrench on it to tighten it and when the Treads are worn enough that it gets grabby it will start go get hard to remove. And, as I said you cannot use a Wrench on it without the risk of cracking the Bowel.

In the application it was used in with Fuel Under Pressure (Due to like 1000 Gallons of Fuel above them) they eventually leaked and you could not tighten them to stop the leak.

When the Drain Petcock gets old and leaks you cannot tighten the Wing Nut on it hard as the Plastic Housing will Crack.

I think most of the Big Companies make a Similar Filter housing and they all make the Elements though I don't know if they make the Water Blocking Element.

Because the Tank Truck drove around in 40 Acres of Dirt and Dust the outside and crevices of the Filter were always filled with that. When you changed the Filter Element particles of rust got everywhere on the Housing making it difficult to keep grit out of the threads of the Housing or the Bowel.

Maybe they are great in a clean environment but I had no experience with them in a clean environment.
