Re:Fuel filter

Although mine was never on that tight..........I use a strap wrench when they're on too tight!

Re:Fuel filter

Stevie, be real careful as to not loosen the fuel heater when trying to take the filter off. If it is on real tight, turn it in short strokes or you will loosen the heater on top of the filter mount that has right hand threads. They are a pain in the a$$ to get back on and tight.
