I have (but dont use) a Fuselex filter like this pic below:


I wonder how many will buy and use this eBay ripoff of the Fuselex?

That piece of plasic is worth about $10.00 but sells for $95.00 :o

Someone is making money out of that.

And potentially making people sick as dogs

Yeah plastic is not good, I saw a post by a fella who has a distillery in South America, small distilleries distill sugar cane juice in the country at 60%, they then store it on the farm and the bigger ditileries then buy it and take it away to be redistilled. Apparently they had one batch stored in plastic for awhile before it was bought and redistilled. No matter what they did they couldn't get the taste \ shit from the plastic out and they just had to dump a few thousand litres. In a country like that in south America that would be a big write off for them.

yet in Europe they sell "upto" 40% booze in plastic bottles for public sale.
Go figure

Yep and in the US as well.............

One of the big distillers in the US was shipping bulk spirits to the bottler in plastic as well, they have now changed to Stainless steel IBC (intermediate Bulk Containers)

Was just taking a closer look at the link for the above ebay item and noticed this in the description "PET FOODGRADE PLASTIC" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .....Is there even such a thing ????? "PET FOODGRADE PLASTIC" :? :? :? sounds as dodgy as to me. Or am I reading this wrong .....its made from PET (poly ethylene terephthalate). and it is food grade?????

SBB I think you'll find PET refers to the type of plastic, pretty sure most plastic soft drink bottles are made from PET food grade plastic ;)
