I guess I don't understand as to how it is problematic? It does not loosen around a neck as do other brands, It does not expand and contract with filling.
If the filter gets dirty, flush it or replace it - isn't that the idea????

Please enlighten me as to why I should not use this product over the BVM or MAP UAT?

D.W.
The function of an UAT is to trap air from the surface tension of the fuel from the filter media. Normally an UAT is not designed to be back flushed.

A filter filters the fuel. This is why it's typically plumbed right before the engine and it isn't eliminated by the presence of an UAT.
