how tight to turn fittings on new fuel pump and fuel filter install? 700

I used a little antiseize on the threads and gave them a good snug down. Hard to say how much is enough: I do it by feel. Recognize that you are slightly crushing the copper washers to get a good seal. Be careful that you don't rotate the fuel pump-to-filter line, which is flexible and can break.

After you get it all together, use a little anti-rust around the threaded joints so they don't rust together.
