Fuel filter ads?

[seanc]

I don’t know about you. But I keep getting pop up ads for lfauto “fuel filters” and not that i would eve$pr do it... but I am seriously tempted to grab one not convert/ finish it and just sock it away.

that said. this one of those AR lightning link ATF stings?

Same here. I bookmarked it.

I keep getting them and I keep ignoring them. Was fishy to me that I've never been searching for car parts or anything else I could see that would trigger an ad program to display car parts.

just a hint.. they are not for your ford, Toyota or what ever it is you use to get around... different searches.

AdBlock Plus and a VPN - no ads here. WTF is this fuel filter you’re talking about?

If you aren’t already, you really need to start using an ad blocker. Even the basic free ones will do wonders.

I get those to.
Just as a heads up-
This is what the a.t.f./ f.b.i. used as an excuse to bust a prominent member of the outlaws in Bridgewater.
Granted, they had been watching him for some time for other things, but this guy had ordered several. A raid ensued. There was an s.b.r. tucked away under a workbench with one of these fuel filters attached. And several other items of ill-repute.

Theres a thread on that here somewhere, but heres the news link-

Get someone who doesn't own guns to buy a lot of them. See what happens.

 

[Redbeard22]

I see ads like that all the time on YouTube, just to name one place. I just started clicking through some gun related videos just now on my phone in YouTube and got one to pop up.

Seems the ATF may just be taking a page from China's book right now amidst all the panic with obvious, blatant lying and deception to fulfill their agenda.

Is it the Wix or Napa filter that is not going to be produced anymore?

 

[sharona]

Yikes, I was just thinking the same thing. I’m not sure I would purchase online though

I'm sure theres a tax stamp or some kind of paperwork involved, but theres always this route-

I hope you have body armor for your dog.

Lafo Auto Parts is the Acronym for Los Angela’s Field Office

 

[akma]

You could get a threaded muzzle brake and put an oil filter on it. LOL

 

[jayhitek]

Some of them look identical to real fuel filter. But they come with a call from the Feds. So it should be a No for everyone.

 

[NannerClips]

I get these constantly. Good for a laugh.

 

[PatMcD]

You buy things like that in person with cash.

A friend told me that.

 

[drgrant]

SOLVENT TRAP.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

Waste of time. Unless you're an 07/SOT in Mass, you'll have to affix them to your gun in the wood shed at nite, under a tarp and test fire them there too. Won't last for more than a couple of mag dumps. Fun, though. Jack.

Interesting, result so far from that case is being reported as a federal charge, one count of an unregistered firearm..

I assume that is the "suppressor" or two that was reportedly found, of course the details are very poorly illustrated by the press who wants to make it about a home made AR15.

Glad this was here. Just saw an ad for fuel filters on a game review website. The small pic looked odd so I clicked the link to LafoAutoparts and determined that they did not appear to be fuel filters at all. Came here, searched for fuel filters and voila! Confirmation in seconds. Kind of funny though. Anyone who buys that online with a credit card and has it shipped to their house, is dumber than a box of rocks.

They have been cross associated with gun parts for years. If it's an ATF sting then they are playing the looooong game. Those things and solvent trap kits have been sold on Amazon for like a decade. They pop up in my suggestions all the time and have recently been all over gun.deals.com lately. Hell you can buy them off the shelf at autozone.

They work best when run wet. 10% water soluble cutting oil in tap water. They last longer that way (two mag dumps instead of one). Have fun. Jack.
