Model - 2002 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 OHV 16V FFV Flex Fuel
Problem - I replaced the fuel filter ( FF4001DL, AutoZone ) however it leaks when connected back to the plastic clip. There was a yellow o-ring at the back of the metal coupling that I removed. I've tried placing the o-ring at the back and putting the nipple back in but it leaks fuel at the plastic connector where the clips are. I tried putting the o-ring on the nipple and installing it that way but it still leaks. Someone told me the o-ring goes between the fuel line and metal coupling. Is there anyway I could remove just the metal coupling and replace it with a new connector for the fuel filter? Thanks for any suggestions. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, just joined a couple of minutes ago.

you replaced filter now it leaks on the flex line side then replace with another filter the old or get another from store.

If the filter has a plastic quick-connect fitting the O-ring is supposed to be in the groove inside the quick-connector. It seals against the outer wall of the steel tubing.
