Re: Fuel filter location

Yea and make sure you dont do what I just did

1. Break the copper fuel intake line going into the fuel filter (it turned with the
fuel line bolt head and broke in half)

2. overtighten the fuel line in to the new filter Aluminum Strips like crazy I am
back to square one with a wasted striped out $25.00 fuel filter and a busted fuel
line
