I'm looking for opinions on pros and cons of fuel stones vs. inline 3 pc. filters. I've been kicking them around to reduce the chance of leaks or air intrusion. does anyone run the stones? if so, does it cause an earlier "lean condition" like I think it will by sucking air earlier? I try not to run my tank empty, but sometimes I do get carried away. Is there a good brand to run?
On a similar, but seperate note. After running my truck, 3.3 btw, I shot the fuel tank with my temp gun, 108 deg. F. Now, considering the volatility of the nitro fuels we run, has anyone considered trying to cool or shield the fuel tanks? just something I'm kicking around. Thanks in advance for any help.:)
 
+2 for going fat!
 
+1 for going BIG.

EDIT:
I did a search for the Fat Daddy since I have the Big Daddy, and this is the first listing in the Google search:

I've run the Dynamite Fat Daddy filter with great success. I believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and that our elected officials will fix everything! ...
