  Big Orange. There was just a recent thread on this. Should be 5/8".

  I have this in-line filter. It seems to work well. I don't get any smells. I also treat the tank with noflex digester.

  I've been using a big orange for 3 seasons. I have not yet changed the carbon, and it still smells like daisies.

  Has anyone used the AirForce filter?

  Haven't used it. Same concept I guess. Only thing is it's missing a vacuum relief. If you have too much suction on the pump out, that may restrict the vent enough to collapse your tank. The big orange does have a vacuum relief on it.

  yeah, build your own.  5/8" is the size.  I've probably built a dozen of them now for various people.  I'm sure the airforce one works fine, maybe you can cut it and reuse when it stops working.

  I have a air force on my 342 . So far it seems to be ok. No pump out problem but it is new.
