My tip to you is when installing the new fuel filter, Put a dab of Anti seize compound on the threads, then put it together as normal. Good luck...

My tip is to wear eye goggles. Gas stings the eyes. I can't remember if I read that on the back of the new fuel filter packaging or if it was because some gas fell in my eye and I ran screaming around and around my Blazer like a lunatic for 5-10 minutes and then blindly groped for the garden hose and sprayed several gallons of water in my eyes until I could breathe again normally. Oh yeah, it was because some gas fell in my eye and I ran screaming around and around my Blazer like a lunatic for 5-10 minutes and then blindly groped for the garden hose and sprayed several gallons of water in my eyes until I could breathe again normally.
I used my wife's dishwashing liquid to help squeeze the new filter in to the tight bracket.
Usually there are installation instructions on the back of the new filter package.
