• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Changing Fuel filter - what tupperware needs to be removed?

I prefer to use the Oetiker clamps but you must have the proper size and the special Oetiker clamp pliers to do the job correctly. If you choose to use screw type clamps go to an auto parts store and get fuel injection system clamps.

Do you remember what size clamps for the fuel filter?

And, how do these differ from pex clamps and tool used in plumbing, do you know?
 
Pete, I'm sorry, I don't remember the clamp size or whether they are like pex clamps because my house is all copper plumbing. I do remember that the fuel filter and two clamps came in a pkg from Cheap Cycle Parts when they were in business and the three piece set was cheaper than buying three pieces individually. Look at reference no 27 in this link and you can see it's cheaper than the three pieces individually: https://www.canamoemparts.com/oemparts/a/cam/602170c187a8660f147ed0a4/fuel-system.

I use Oetiker clamps also, but I do not have that special tool. I use an end cutter, but don't apply enough pressure to cut the clamp (it takes a lot of pressure to cut those clamps) never had an issue with them leaking.
