Fuel Filter Leaking ??

[Crisis]

Hi,
Anyone ever have their fuel filter spring a leak? Mine did. 2008 GS. Also do you have to put the OEM part back?
Thanks in advance

changed mine out last year when I was in south Carolina. went to the neighborhood napa parts house and got a basic steel inline fuel filter for the proper line size. don't remember the part #.

I don't understand why they manufacture a fuel filter with a flange in the middle of it. That's where it's leaking.

Interesting. ...

have seen connection leaks especially in units that have not been changed for extended periods. They can get heavily blocked and create pressure but you can get replacement filters at your local autoparts store.

How old is your filter? If it is original to your 08 I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it sprang a leak.

Installed 2 Duramax plastic filters, both leak at seams of filter, not hose connections. Bad filter? Another issue?
Thanks

Okay. If anything good comes out of this thread it will remind everyone to change their fuel filter. Never ever buy an Autozone Duralast replacement fuel filter. Napa replacement filter did the trick.

Why did you fit plastic filter to a pressurised system? :gaah:

You're very welcome. Some folks know enough to be dangerous, like the person who sold it to you - unless you picked the part yourself. :cheers:
