Filter Failure

Fortunately, not had the problem but I used to change them several times a
season.  I would test by trying to take it apart with my fingers.  You
cannot do it on a new one but use it for several months and they do come
apart every time.  Recommend you switch to Hangar 9 aluminum filter that
screws together - you can even change the filtering element for about a $1.
There are similar ones for RC cars too at better price - but the same thing.

I was wondering if anyone had a failure similar to mine.  I fly a Y.S. 
1.40L in my Advantage and discovered a flooded fuselage caused by the 
DuBro 162 The Final Filter coming apart. There were two halves lying in 
the bottom of the fuselage with several ounces of fuel.  Maybe it's time 
to move the filter outside the firewall
