See-through fuel filter bowls

I think most primary fuel filters/aglomerators are below the fuel tank like mine so would dump the complete tank contents. I too will stick to a metal filter bowl.

If the fuel take off is from the top, as specified in BSS, then a break in the line will empty the tank through syphoning. Metal for me also. If the agglomerator is checked regularly, like with each fill up, then you don't need to look at it. If you pick up a bad batch of fuel, you are not likely to notice it even in a glass bowl, as the problem will be immediate.

Only if the break is below the bottom of the tank.  Normally it would only siphon part of the tank.

There is nothing in the BSS that says this. A top take off is only a requirement for petrol tanks.
