They are cheap and better replaced than reused. Bill Kneller Past Owner - Rhapsody J/30 #348 Projects & Documentation Core Replacement & Maintenance Blog Vento Solare J/109 #266

Many times the o ring on the filter housing can get pinched or people over tighten the threaded ring and crack it. Each of these allow an air bleed. Vampire #18 Don Bite Me
