The car was sitting for a good while, and then before that who knows what it's history was. My 68 has gone through easily over 20, probably 30 filters since I bought it. Now it's not nearly as bad as it was when I first got the car, but it was filling the filters up with rust quite fast. Now I have a gas leak through the tank somewhere... The tank is wet underneath the car, it's not too bad, but it's there nonetheless.

I think this 145 could get away with just replacing the $2 filters relatively often, it's not expensive, and should be fine... I don't think it has it as bad as my 142 does.
