Where did you purchase these? 1/4" or 5/16"?

If you ever have a load of crap nesting inside your petrol tank, then I think the answer is obvious.I've had my Commando for 11 years and ridden about 12,000 miles, all without any sort of fuel filter. What sort of calamitous events should I be expecting as a result of this omission? :?:
Where do you buy them Nigel?Heat... Or ethanol...?
Either way, that's why I prefer Pingel. Brass body and sintered (bronze?) cleanable filter element.
And all with unrivalled flow rates.
All things considered, they're a bargain IMHO.
Just looking ahead for when the conical/clear ones need replacement.I buy them from here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-...921298?hash=item545f49be92:g:vZUAAOSwzH5bPNym
But they silly expensive compared to the normal stuff you can buy.
And, they're kinda heavy, so they need the lines zip tying to the frame or similar IMHO.
And, you already have the ones that Matt suppliers, and you have a refurbished and clean tank, so I'm kinda wonderin' why you'd need 'em...
I have usually bought lines from here - https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/lp1200tube.php?clickkey=9046I’ve always used black lines, but am now favouring the clear idea too...

If I might annoy you, four questions about the Pingel filters:
1. The smallest they are available is 5/16" tails - does 1/4"ID hose fit on this? (probably silly question, I know!)
2. Not being transparent - how to you determine it's time to clean them? (the Pingel website doesn't give any advice - that I could find)
3. How do you clean them? (also BrianK's question - post #25 above)
4. Pingel site states "cleanable bronze element that will last a lifetime" - why do they sell spare elements then?
Thanks in advance
