Question Fuel filter housing - plastic top cracked

While changing my fuel filter - the plastic top was very difficult to remove and cracked in the process of removal. Does anyone know where I can get one other than a dealer? Fuel does seep out very very lightly when running.

Thanks

The doggone 1/2 square hole sure looks inviting, but will fail nearly every time. Slow and steady with socket is the route. Do not overtighten.

^^^ Do you have the sending unit on it? If so, does it display post or pre filter?
