Default stone or pumice gas filters

If I remember correctly, sediment bowls used to have stone or pumice filters in them. These things were grey and had a hole down the center and filtered the gas when it came through the stone or pumice to get into the actual sediment bowl and into the gas line to the carb. They were very inexpensive, but also broke pretty easily.

Everyone that I’ve mentioned stone or pumice filters to has not heard of them used to filter gasoline. Water yes, but gas no. I even tried to look them up on Wikipedia without luck. Is it possible that I’m imagining these things or has everyone just had a brain fart and can’t remember them. I can remember the touch of them. They were smooth with a lot of tiny holes in them. They didn’t have a smell, and I never licked one so I don’t know what they tasted like.

If this is the beginning of some kind of mental defect, let me know.
