Fuel Filter Question.

[rtstanger]

I have a 2001 F250 with a 7.3 Power Stroke. I bought a fuel filter from Napa Auto parts. This filter came with two o rings, the tapered one and a round one. The filter I removed only had the tapered one. I couldn't find a place for the other one and I am concerned why it was included. Was I supposed to use the othe one?

Thanks for your help!

have you had any problems with the tapered seal leaking. mine starts leaking about every 5000 mi

[rtstanger]

No, haven't had any leaks. However, I changeemine every 3000 miles, that might be why.

if you cant find the round o ring,on the filter you took out, you need to look in the filter bowl, sometimes it comes off down in there when you pull it out,

seen them leak is when they are upside down.
