Every move my fuel makes is run through at least 1 or more filters, always. I have the Napa/Wix 4389 filter bases on all of my storage and delivery tanks. Clear sediment bowl with relatively cheap 12 micron paper cartridges get everything ready for final dispensing. I did have a Goldenrod brand unit once but it cracked within the first couple of years after it became milky yellow, so I swore those off for good. I find these Napa/Wix units don't discolor the bowls, the bowls are nearly bulletproof and I've been using some of these housings for 25+ years without problems. Fast and easy to service with a new filter, too. Simple 1" NPT plumbing to get these installed.
The only real clogging problem that I've ever encountered was with a bacterial infection on some of my tanks. It left a very dark residue on the filters. Bio-Bor dosages to all of my tanks has solved that problem. Now it's just maintenance dosing every 6 months or once a year to keep that problem away.
