How often does that fuel/water filter get changed out, or do you just clean it out? Kinda pricey for a disposable maintenance item...

If you keep draining the water out, the filter will last for years. The purpose is to separate the water from the fuel. This one does that and the water then flows down into the bowl to be emptied. Normal water separators are only discarded because they become full of water, not because they get clogged. They are still capable of filtering the water out of the fuel, but no longer have a place to store that water. This will have the life of 20 disposable cartridges. You only need to change the paper filter element out when it becomes block by debris, or when the outer casing rusts through. With ongoing maintenance, that can be a very long time.
