A standard filter cartridge housing in stainless steel can be had for $40 to $80 cheaper than the TP housing. Filter cartridges start at $3. Also, by using a standard filter cartridge holder you have the flexibility of changing filter cartridge types if necessary. I got a good deal on my TP cartridges. 2 for the price of 1 and that 1 was also discounted. If I had to pay full price for them I might have looked elsewhere also. But I still think they're a good deal if you have a really messy tank to clean up because the elements are so cheap. Steve |

Steve,
Buit how often do you have to change elements? At $3 a pop I can go through a fair number before the cost becomes a concern. Once I get a really cruddy tank cleaned then the cost should level out.

Of course that all depends on how dirty your tank and fuel is, how much fuel you go through, how clean the fuel is that you're putting in the system, if you allow growth in the tank, if you use a biocide, etc. etc. etc. IOW, it depends. FWIW, I've never had a single TP roll come out of the system with any sort of "mush" from water on the bottom. Every one has come out as a single hard and consistent mass.
