Doesn't the fuel level indicate the amount of filter restriction? On mine, you can barely see fuel in the bowl when the filter's new. Hell, it probably takes 15k before it's 1/3 of the way up the bowl.

JimT, if the fuel is all the way to the top of the globe, isn't that a sign of restriction?

In fact, on the 382, there's a fuel level 'line' near the top of the globe which is supposed to indicate the usable life of the filter.

there are 2 different styles... one has the clear part hangs down (stays full), and one (like mine) where the clear part is facing upward, that will start out low and fill / show when filter is getting full.
