Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Had fuel leaking from the fuel filter housing. Had to tighten up the nut twice, thinking it might be the problem. The last time it didn't help to stop the leak.
Replaced it today. The filter had just under 5k on it. The flat o-ring that seals it to the outside had expanded, and slipped out of the groove, letting fuel escape. Was big enough to slip over the plastic part of the filter pretty easy. It wasn't from over tightening it either, after installing it originally. After removing the old one, I turned it upside down, and the other big o-ring fell off. That one is normally a snug fit in its groove on the filter.
I've never had one do that before. When new, they fit like they were supposed to.
Pretty weird. They must've been made of the wrong material to do that.
