Its now July 2022. I appreciate the heads up on the filter itself. I aborted an installation on my motorcycle with a similar filter and hose this morning that had a smaller diameter than the original fuel hose that connected the petcock valve to the accelerator pump on the carbs. I deferred in assuming Id cause my bike to starve for fuel. Now about the Filter itself - just imagine if I went ahead and an installed it anyway. Just imagine 30 minutes later on a test drive, a leaky filter dripping on an engine case that could be over 200 degrees F in traffic - Thanks much for your video -

Wow this helped me out, I thought my fuel was leaking thru the gromet on the fuel low level mechanism, so I removed the seat and checked things out, no fuel leaking there... I thought I was looking at a new tank, I have the 3235 with the 25 HP Kohler so my in line filter seems to be under the hood (unless there is more than 1) I never thought to remove the back plate and check the lines there. However when I did remove the seat it gave me a chance to see I was leaking hydraulic fluid from my hydraulic valve, so I guess it wasn't for nothing. Thanks for the video, it always sucks to see any kind of puddle under a machine. :-)

I went through 2 similar faulty filters on my DIY 50CC motorbike project when it happened the 2nd time I thought it was a feature instead of a flaw, being new to this. Whoops. Heading to get new filters tomorrow.

had to stop using that style of filter , here's a good replacement part #33031 WIX it is metal always good to see a video

It could be the fuel or water that froze maybe but it seems the newer products have solved most of the problems we first seen with alcohol in the fuel but oddly when I picked up my new brush cutter and chainsaw the stihl dealer said the warranty does not cover anything fuel related if they detect that you used fuel wth alcohol in it. We still have lots of non alcohol fuel up here. Cheers...

The ethanol strikes again. Just a heads up the ethanol in the non sealed fuel systems like riding mowers and other power equipment will play havoc if you let it sit in there for more than a month at a time. Cars have combated this by having fully sealed fuel systems.

Good deal finding the failed filter. Easy and cheap fix, but what a pain in the butt.

Luckily I have a local supplier of ethanol free gas. It goes into all my small engines all the way from the 2 stroke weed wacker all the way up to the outboard on the boat. Between that, the kero for shop heat, and the dyed off-road only diesel for the tractor I look a little nutty filling up the cans at the station!

Thanks that’s what I thought it was .

Hey Ozz...looks a crappy filter with poor quality control when it was made. I agree that Ethanol is shit too, but I haven't had any deterioration of parts on my mower. Looks like you've got a good quality filter on there now. Take care Ozz...

Planned obsolescence,OZ! Should replace it anyway, shame you lost all your fuel, Chaos strikes again! Good video!

That was surprising to see the seam leaking on the filter

My fuel filter broke after 4 hours of riding... got a replacement now but still u would think they would atleast make a high quality one.

I had that same problem in the car with those plastic filters...Never again..

Parts are such junk today! At least a relatively cheap fix.

just throw a match on it to dry it off hahahahahaha

Farting bubles....always a dead giveaway! Good job Ozz, now quit foolin' arround and cut that grass!

Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't from the new "gas" they sell today. I try and buy the real gas for all my toys.

to bad that you lost all the gas

That sucks
