Heck Yeah! It got the job done!

Can anybody tell me if this looks like the original fuel filter.

The car has 187,000 miles.

Not likely....they hog up finally to where it won't run after 75,000 or so usually.

Glad it worked. That stuff will usually break anything loose...

Re: Rusted fuel filter.

I agree that stuff works over WD40.I found out a 20mm wrench fits better on the fuel filter instead of a 13/16 wrench.Cornwell tools does sell the wrench for the GM fuel filters which is a 20mm,if you can find a dealer and is not cheap
