Keeping fusils out is really hard. You can minimise them with the correct process of distilling, by making sure you have next to no sediment from the yeast in your wash when you distill. few other things also, but basically, you need to get a really good filter filled with active carbon. all the home brew shops should sell it.
I made my own, i have a 1M length of 40mm pvc with a 2L juice bottle hot glued on the top. At the bottom i have screw fittings that take it down to 19mm that will allow the connection of the black irrigation fittings. I have a 19mm socket off that, that way i can put a 13mm-19mm irrigation director on the bottom. This serves 2 purposes, 1. it slows the rate down for more contact time on the carbon, 2. lets me put a tube on the end or direct it into my demijohn. Just put coffee filter paper where the director screws into the socket. And fill the tube with the carbon.
Total cost of my little project... about $15.
If i could upload pics, i'd show you all.
