Are these filters the blue plastic ones??  I've had every one of them come
apart after a while, also.  Luckily, my filter is next to the engine so the
mess dumped on the ground.

  
  No, these are aluminum and plastic.  They are NOT cheap.  That's why I used them, because we all know that we Pattern fliers always buy the expensive stuff.

  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
