Very well made, arrived quickly,
Just what I was looking for. Thanks A/C Spruce
Cured my fuel tank problems on farm tractor. Cut the original plastic fitting off the tank, drilled hole slightly under 3/8, used the strainer to cut new threads in plastic. Cured my fuel flow problems 100%
Great product. Used in my dump truck saddle tank for diesel. High quality strainer for all equipment that use a pipe thread fitting. Great price!.
Haven’t installed yet, but appears to be well made. Aircraft Spruce shipped quickly at reasonable shipping expense.
Quality product and service from spruce
worked perfectly with the weld on bungs.
I place my order online and the product shipped right away. I also get emails with the tracking information, that is very helpful for me!!
Works great except the internal threads needed a little work from a pipe thread tap.
