The husky kinds. I bought a small one just to test it out. Do you guys remove teh brown filters in them or just leave them on? Also what size hose did you buy?

Yahelou is correct, it's 3/8" hose. Use fuel line hose. I left the filter in when I did mine. My filter element was white to begin with. It's brown now though from oil vapors. I might take the element off eventually if it starts to be a restriction. It would be nice to have a bigger can, mine will fill almost up to the bottom of the element within 400-500 miles.
