Sport_Injection, can you take a closeup picture of that area and the other end of the filter so that we can see if the end cap did or did not seal properly?

No, the base plate extends further out from the center tube, sealing everything off. I had this concern when looking at using the TG, so I put some marker and colored the base plate of a cut open TG and pressed it down on the fiber end cap. To my pleasure, the marker had fully transferred over from the base plate to the fiber end disc and formed a nice ring showing that there is a good seal.
