My tractor has a 5/16 inline fuel Filter. And let's face the fact that the tank probably isn't really that clean. No big deal really. Just put a new filter on it once in a while.

I can't find what I consider to be good filtering filter. The last disaster was a see through one from autozone. Our California approved special blend gas ate it!

It swelled up the body. The element came loose and it allowed contaminants into the carburetor. Caused the tractor to shut down with the Gannon down. Stuck in my yard.

I want a filter made in a respectable country. I can't find one. Even the wix 33032 is made in China. Fram, Purolater too. All look to be from the same Chinese factory.

Any ideas to where I can find a decient filter?

Kubota 12581-43012. Fits several models and is very popular.

Made in Japan. $5 or so at the dealer.
