Quick, but probably dumb Fuel filter question
 
Guys

since i do not have of those little strap wrenches or filter wrenches as yall call them i have to remove my filters teh hard way with a screwdriver and a hammer.. I know stupid mistake.. My question is..

Does the fuel filter screw still use the metality of left to loosen, right to tighten?

counterclockwise is to loosen?
clockwise is to tighten?

if done this before but didnt mark off the fuel filter..

Im gonna go buy a filter wrench right now and im gonna go ahead and see what yall tell me

Thanks!

Rick

Thanks bill!

Had to rethink that one for a minute, if it applies for the bottom of the filter lookin up, then lookin from the top to the bottom is the inverse

CLockwise will loosen the filter
counterclockwise will tighten it

same applies for the oil filter, i just never made note of it....

Thanks for the help!
