If I were you I would leave the fuel filter alone. Unless you have a clogged one.Its a royal pain in the butt. It seems easy to get to but the way the lines are situated it leaves no room for flex and maneuverability. I changed mine and ended up loosing a gallon of gas on the ground and hour of my time...lol

^ its worth paying a mechanic for an hour's worth of work to swap the fuel filter IMO. major pain - lots of gas will spill on you regardless of what you do....plus the torque they are put on with is incredible. it sucks, plain and simple.

just go with the stock part...aftermarket wont do anything different for you

Pay the mechanic. This is what I suffered from the fuel filter. Took 3 hours to get off, nothing but leaking gas.




This is the fitting.
