Spin on Fuel Filter's sound like a good idee-er.

But I think because it fuel related it has to be a better seal than a
compressed rubber gasket will provide. Gas might also eat throught the
seal, so the rubber would have to withstand pressure & gas contact.

Remember, if it spins on it can spin off too.

I liked those glass jar fuel filter's I remember seeing in the 60's &
70's.

Where you reading this 12,000 mile fuel filter interval?

Many medium and heavy duty gas and diesel trucks have used spin on fuel
filters for decades. They look just like an oil filter. No leaks.

I think the Op is getting his info from a 1960's owners manual. No late
model carb or injected vehincle should need 12,000 mile fuel filter
intervals.
