The Mr. Heater Fuel Filter (F276163) is an essential accessory if youāre using a Big Buddy or Portable Buddy heater with a bulk propane tank. I added this to my setup, and it works perfectly, keeping contaminants out and ensuring smooth, clog-free operation.Propane can carry oil residues that build up over time, especially when using longer hoses. This filter prevents those impurities from reaching the heaterās internal parts, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining efficiency. Installation was quick and simpleājust screw it in between the heater and the hose, and youāre good to go.One thing to keep in mind: This filter is NOT needed for 1 lb. propane bottles, only for bulk tank connections. It also needs to be replaced periodically, so itās good to keep an extra on hand.And hereās a quick joke: Why did the propane filter get an award? Because it always kept things clean under pressure!Overall, the Mr. Heater Fuel Filter is a small but crucial investment for keeping your Big Buddy or Portable Buddy heater running smoothly. Itās affordable, easy to install, and extends the life of your heater, making it a must-have for winter or camping use.

I did a lot of looking into it before I bought the heater and a hose that goes for my 5 gallon barbecue style tank to my buddy heater, a lot of people say to use this filter because some of the hoses will bleed some oils into your heater, this is a perfect fit and I am a firm believer in filters and maintaining them so I would definitely recommend putting one of these in line just to be safe

After during some research, I found it best to use this filter system when using the extended hose for a 20lb propane tank on the Mr.Heater Big Buddy. Prevents the tiny ports from clogging up with the oil leeched from the hose

I recently had to strip down and drain out the oil that had leeched out of the Mr Heater propane extension hose into the the Mr Heater Buddy. The oil blocks the pipes to the pilot light and stops the heater from functioning. This happened because I was not using the fuel filter at the time. So if like me you want to keep the garage warm with the buddy connected to a 13kg Calor cylinder using the Mr Heater Hose ( not seen or tried a UK hose for the Mr Heater Buddy) then consider this fuel filter as a mandatory item. When using the Camping style cylinders without an extension hose, I have never had a problem or needed a fuel filter, I have used around 70 small cylinders without issue. So the most likely source of the oil is leeching from the Mr Heater hose.

Iām assuming itās doing itās job just fine. Only had a little issue with heater towards the end of last winter, but nothing that a minimal cleaning couldnāt resolve. & That could have been from dust & pets more then fuel? I did buy the Mr Heater hose originally, but ended up having to go with another brand to be able to share the tank, so I bought this just to be safe. So donāt actually know if it was needed or not, but worth the price for the extra protection. Just bought a replacement for this season, but havenāt put it on yet since itās working fine & still has a strong bright blue pilot flame. Will probably wait til it starts to dim like it did a little at the end of last season or my next tank change just to be safe. Then Iāll know if it really makes a difference.But Iād definitely recommend this small expense as a safety measure to protect your equipment.

I recently purchased the Mr. Heater Universal Fuel Filter, and it has proven to be an excellent addition to my propane heater setup. If you own a Mr. Heater Buddy or any propane heater that uses disposable cylinders or connects to a larger tank via a hose, this fuel filter is a must-have.Pros: 1. Effective Protection: This filter effectively prevents contaminants like oil and debris from entering the heater, which can be a common issue when using propane tanks. It ensures the heater operates efficiently without clogging, which ultimately extends the life of the unit. 2. Easy Installation: The filter is straightforward to installājust screw it between the propane tank and the hose. Itās also compact, so it doesnāt add bulk to the setup. 3. Universal Compatibility: True to its name, this filter works with a variety of Mr. Heater products, and itās compatible with both 1 lb disposable cylinders and 20 lb tanks with hoses. This versatility is a big plus. 4. Cost-Effective Solution: Considering the protection it offers for your heater, the price is quite reasonable. It could save you money in the long run by preventing costly repairs or replacements.Cons: 1. Limited Lifespan: The filter needs to be replaced periodically, especially if you use your heater frequently. Itās recommended to replace it after every propane cylinder or every season, depending on your usage. 2. No Clear Indicator: It would be helpful if there were a way to tell when the filter needs to be changed. You have to go by feel and experience or notice any performance drops.Final Thoughts:Overall, the Mr. Heater Universal Fuel Filter is a small investment that delivers big benefits. It keeps your heater running smoothly and prolongs its lifespan by filtering out impurities. Iād highly recommend it to anyone using portable propane heaters.
