Fuel filter socket

YES! Do as gsbrockman shows and you will be a happy camper. You should order the Lisle frame mount filter sensor removal wrench at the same time.

Saw this a little late... I guess I will try my big crescent wrench the first time.

You will most likely be sorry if you do!

Plastic parts and crescent wrenches, NOT GOOD!

GS Thanks for posting the pic!

Ryan I used large channel locks the first time with no issue but the wrench is the proper tool.

Until I purchased the Lisle wrench, I also used a set of channel lock pliers. After several swaps, the sensor was beginning to look like it had been chewed on by a dump rat on meth.....

Thanks. I do carry a couple of channel locks with me, so I will use this and order it when I replace my next filters.

Seriously now I may need to actually carry that wrench and a set of fuel filters and all the correct tools to change em out in the field/ en route/on the road.I'm only a recreational RV driver for personal use , almost there but got couple tools to add ,.I try to be a good Boy Scout.
Wife sez need to leave here but I keep telling her there's good intell here

all things considered

That's quite an extension. I'll have to look into that, beats the air wrench I used the first time to get it off. - yeah I cringed too.

Thanks, I just ordered the other wrench as I needed to order a couple of other items.
