Interesting. I carry a couple extra plastic versions with me. I didn't realize they made an aluminum version. I broke the first one and was not prepared with a large enough bucket to catch the fuel so ended up soaking myself and shirt and laying in a puddle trying to figure out a way to stop the flow until I could get a bucket. Now my little jar always has a bucket under it when I just want to drain enough to check for water.I totally agree with your advice of changing both fuel filters often. OTOH, if you're getting so much water in your fuel lines that it'll freeze up and clog the line, I'd say you probably need to find another source for diesel fuel.
I would also suggest replacing the cheesy OEM drain valve for the bottom filter with one of these ..
