If you fill through a Tee fitting you generally have an automotive type fuel filter on your filler line. Most folks I know do at least.
On my Tee'd set-up, my fill line from the flight box has 2 standard glow fuel filters (Dubros) on it. That seems adequate; I have had no problems with dispensing avgas, 3+ years now and 4-5 different engines. Maybe autogas is a little dirtier than avgas and requires more filtering. One thing certain, filtering is cheap insurance for maintaining a clear carb!!

Jim, did you get the fittings?
Not yet buddy, haven't got today's mail yet though.. If I like your fittings which I am sure I will, I will probably order several sets to have on hand.. I am phasing out my glow stuff and going to all gas or Electric and will be making my tanks from now on, so having them on hand will be a good idea..
