To care for the Fuel magnet is very simple.
For muffler pressured fuel systems, at the end of each day fill tank full with fuel pop off vent tube to muffler and drain. This as stated above pushes all the caustic exhuast out of the tank so it cannot attack the foams. I fly quite regularly most times and dont even need to do this but now that winter is here more time between flight days so I do do this.
That is all that needs to be done if you fly regularly. If your airframe sits for awhile between flying sessions. Put a 1/4 tank of fuel in there to keep the sponge wet. This is not because it will damage from drying out this will keep it from trapping oils because all the nitro and other evaporables leave after time.
If you take care as above each element well last well over a year. If you do not do any of the above you will find you are replacing elements about every 3-4 months, which is no biggie it is about the time you should be checking your clunk lines and replacing them.
