We have never had a Shurflo strainer leak around the bowl to body seal.

If air is getting into the system it will be getting in before the pump. So you need to look carefully at the hose from the tank to the filter first. Sometimes jubilee clips pinch the hose and leave a ridge that air can be sucked in.

We use the Shurflo filter with bayonet nuts to tighten them up. They do not need ptfe tape to seal them as they will seal themselves - they have a male and female conical cone that is a good seal. We tighten them up by hand and then nip them slightly tighter with a small spanner.

We have never had an issue since using these bayonet filters. The filters we use are the same as second from the bottom.

We also use the shurflo bayonet hose connectors.

The first filters were screw on and they were problematic.
