OK, West, you alarmed me enough to check online and sure enough, leaks were reported and reports of fire (different types of later model engines with carb dead center), but these reports were for the cheap Chinese inline glass and plastic fuel filters, connected to hose, not metal fuel lines, and there was nothing about the glass bowl type. I bought this from the largest dealer of pre-'54 Chevys the USA, huge warehouse in Vancouver WA, and I was told they sell lots and lots of them, for '46-58 Chevys including Bel Aire's and Impalas.

Just keep the bowl cinched snug (not crushed) against the gasket. They've had no returns or complaints.
