Ricardo - I installed the filter yesterday on my parts washer. I'm getting a small seep on the lower brass pass through. Did you install a rubber washer, o-ring or use any sealant? I didn't see it mentioned it your original post but thought I would ask. I'm thinking of trying either a rubber washer or some Permatex RTV designed for oils.
Edit: I did some research regular rubber doesn't do well being in constant contact with solvent (naphtha). Viton is recommended. Not sure where I could get that readily today so I decided to try a gasoline resistant gasket sealer. I found Loctite Gasket Sealant #1 at my local auto parts store. I will let it sit over night before refilling the washer with solvent.
