I figgered some of you fellers might something like this on a machine coolant. Has anyone ever installed a coolant filter in an auto radiator hose and had good luck with it? They use them in diesels and antique cars.

These are 2 that I found online. Don't no nuthin about 'em except they are both $70. That's a little high to try something out. I would go for it if it were in the $20-30 range.

Unscrew the top and change the filter element without having to break the line.

Clear plastic sounds like a good idea but I would probably go with the metal housing.

I don't know the filter rating for these two, but this feller (below) says 200 micron (77 mesh) is fine enough. A human hair is about 70 microns.

"It only needs to filter particles of about 200 microns (0.0078 inch) and larger in size. Filters that trap extremely small particles are not necessary and are more likely to restrict flow to the point of overheating."
