need help about fuel filter question.

[dirtbikr]

I posted this in the 911 section but I need to see if I can get an answer here also. just got done changing both filters but I don't think my frame filter cap is on right. my torque wrench indicates that it is tight but the cap is not sealed to the filter housing. there is about 1/32" gap. is this the way it is supposed to be or is this thing cross threaded?

[dirtbikr]

BUMP. nobody knows?

Mine tightens down without a gap. Take it off and see if any threads are messed up. I always lube the cap threads with some oil before putting it back on.

It should make full contact.

[dirtbikr]

gotter done! thanks fellas.

Well what did you find?

[dirtbikr]

just did it without the torque wrench and forced it to close up the gap. threads are fine and I was just being a little over cautious to not over tighten it and break it since it was my first time doing this on this vehicle

[Dwilcox]

Thank you.
I did the same thing first time i changed mine.
Just wanted to make sure that i did not miss something.

even with lubing the O-ring there seems to be a lot of friction at this filter and the oil filter ,, I don't use torque wrenches for some things
