I followed the FAQs and tried to change my dirty fuel filter today at my friend's shop. I pulled the fuse but the engine died right away, so I just closed my eyes while I loosened the connections.

I bought the "correct" filter from CarQuest. It came with some kind of adapter already screwed into the "out" side which was not the same size as the fitting on the car, so I had to remove it, but it was fastened with Loctite or something.

Also, it only came with 2 copper washers instead of the necessary 4, so I had to reuse 2 of them.

I started it up and it looked OK, but by the time I got home, it was leaking. I'm done with this project, I'm taking it to the mechanic on Monday.
