    Pros

    Compact & easy to carry. Fits short tester & holds 2 samples. Appears to be some of the best materials available for this application.

    Cons

    Blue snap-on covers may not be leak proof. Rather tedious to pour back into the fuel filler without some leakage.

    General Comments

    Gives reasonable impression of environmental responsibility & fiscal stewardship. Allows simple replacement of a clean sample, but might not be practical to use for filtering a significantly bad sample.

    Pros

    Works as designed. Very easy to use with Cessnas or other high- or low-wing aircraft in which the fuel filler cap is on the top of a wing surface.

    Cons

    Not so easy to use with Diamond Katana or other aircraft in which the fuel filler is on the side of the fuselage. Also the blue plastic top seemed like it would easily break off in very cold weather.

    General Comments

    This is an important product to use in order to prevent dumping sampled fuel on the ramp. It won't be long before the FAA or EPA passes some sort of law about this sort of thing.

    EPA requires we put the drained fuel back into the wing. Important to filter the fuel.

    Pros

    Simple - saves gas.

    Cons

    Hard to open caps (good seal).

    General Comments

    If you don't like throwing gas away it works good. Not sure I trust it for filtering water. I only put back samples w/o water.

    Pros

    Like the theory, and that it filters out water too. Like the small size compared to a GATS strainer.

    Cons

    Very clumsy and awkward to use. A hassle to mess with two separate straining units. Have only had the product for a few months and the covers are already falling off often from frequent use. Would rather it be a one piece unit.

    General Comments

    Like the idea and size, but would rather it be a one piece unit with the strainer.
