I checked the filter after and it was a little loose so I'm guessing it was slowly leaking out. no serious damage just some synged hair and some dirty underware! now I will always check the conections before using it!
I've got an email request in to Mr. Heater to answer the question of whether a filter is required when using the Big Buddy 12' quick connect hose with regulator...

I was under the impression that it wasn't required and the product description for the hose I purchased on the Cabela website indicates this as well.

I'll update this post once I hear back from Mr. Heater!
