Weekly unless you are unsung a fuel magnet that removes the metallic contaminates. In that case, yearly should be sufficient.

Using magnet would make sense but rust is not magnetic.

Which APE filters do you have? I thought the gause type they sell are cleanable.

And speaking of non cleanable pods, the junky Emgo pods are not intended to be cleaned.
