[QUOTE="Vince Farrell, post: 77698, member: 148"] I have an early 'B' UFM with no housing at all and also heard of others, maybe it was added on later tanks to protect the mesh filter? With some of the methods used to clean out the crud, if the part was left in situ it would need it! Most of the sludge it tanks has probably been sat in there from 'the old days' and just got harder causing no harm. Introducing modern oil with detergent is the game changer, softens it up and starts to flow through the system. A spotless tank using oil containing additive's should be fine for many years.
