NY city, California ports, wells fargo (notice how many in the area now?)
this small 2"x4" fuel/gas filter used to be the inexpensive things you replace without a thought. like $2 delux or $5 oem.
it goes in import mowers (also generators). they make the imports so you can't use a different / generic filter everyone else uses. only requirement is the fit the fule hose - which should be standard sized (and likely is)
these people CLOSED USA FACTORIES telling workers their product wasn't worth it's salt - but were using illegally dumped imports to compare with (priced lower than cost, a rip of of a usa product). Then once the conned usa workers went home: these damn importers want $31 for a $2 - $5 part. the dumped parts also were likely to damage what one used them in and didn't fit. the new part is designed to prevent installation of competing usa parts (or china parts that are copies of usa parts). all of these parts had been made in the u.s.a. in the 80's to early 90's
these companies have intently controlled the market to hit up consumers with FIVE TIMES the price while increasing consumer frustration and impoverishing the USA - for a stock trade kickback
