Dual filters changed yearly. I've pumped over 5,000 gallons of fuel through this baby.
Larry,
Have you thought of adding a fire extinguisher to your rig?

Good point Sam! Even though I use a station that is listed on www.pure-gas.org, I test the fuel *every time* before transferring it from the five gallon jugs to my plane. If it ever tests for alcohol, my wife's sportscar will get 15 gallons of premium gas to suck on, and I'll search for a new source.
