So even the plastic 'sock' filters on in-tank fuel pumps are safe from everything save for a tankful of pure tolulene, acetone, or the like??
I see some of these over 20 yrs old and look like the day were put in, its really rare to find one damaged or plugged. The material seems to be resistant to almost everything except high heat.

Their website still has it listed for continuous use and it appears to be the latest bottle.
I have been using continuously it in my snowblower since day one, the fuel is in with stabil and SI-1 all year, it uses regular fuel hose and has a carb.
Last year the hose rubbed on a cover and i had to change it, it show no signs of internal degradation whatsoever.

Probably not but you can test pressure and flow if your concerned about it.
Unlike regular fuel filters these do not trap and hold particles very well, they just stop it from entering the system.
When the pump stops or new fuel is added any particles tend to fall away from it and settles in the bottom of the tank at some point.
