 Followed an ad on facebook (dangerous for windows users I wouldn't advise it) for a place selling these as fuel filters. They even have a picture of it on a fuel line on a Harley(ish). Looks like you can get them in 2 popular threads including 1/2-28 for automatic and manual trans. Wonder if it is a scam or if it is someones brilliant idea.

 I could use one with a 0.401" opening for the inlet and exit for the ElectraGlide. :)

 I don't have fb, but I have seen similar ads around, to get around govt restrictions.  Complete with comments.  Come to think of it, one might even have been on Amazon...

 Well if the fuel goes through and is making noise, this will stop the noise.
The alternating baffle design above is excellent especially for small gauge pistols and rifles. Your neighbor will never know it was you that smoked his cat for pooping in your flower bed 100's of times.

 Here is a real one from Hughes Precision:

Real Deal 

This is the video that prompted the purchase of a TX22 for my wife. The thread size will fit that and her smith 22 compact.

 @AIC: Maybe you should promote your gun videos as "fuel pump" videos.  Just a thought...
