Just be aware that the pencil filter is a maintenance item. I am replacing a lot of them that went in during the first wave of 7 - 10 years ago (? not sure when they first appeared)... most are completely eroded away allowing a rust plug to form in the valve or in the wider diameter and hence lower velocity inside gas line. Heavy sediment never makes it to the sediment bulb. I bore out the very small diameter opening in the filters to prolong their useful lifetime.
