anybody know of a source to get the o-ring that seals the lid on the housing. i want to open up the housing and do a little work in there but i just put a new filter in in an emergency and i don't want to put another one in just for the o-ring since they swell after a few days from the fuel. Ford says they don't have any. do any of the aftermarket sites have them?

thanks guys

i get my filters from fleetfilter.com for around 6 bucks. as far as the oring no i dont know of anyone. i think it would be ok. i have opened mine before and resealed it with the same one. just watch it for a day or so after if it leaks replace it.

 

Tighten the lid until it just starts to compress the o-ring, then run a small screwdriver around to push it under the lid. Repeat until the o-ring is seated inside the canister.

 

yeah thats a good option just like to be able to replace thing rather tahn mess around with them for 10 minutes.

1997 which filter do get from fleetfilter? the 33517 which is the one i would use is $16. do you use a different one?

 

they must have gone up. i cant look it up for some reason to verify its the same. but i am sure it is. oh well. the 6637's are still 19.00 though so go figure????????

 

Air or fuel filters? The air filter is 46637 and it's $19.54. Te fuel filter for your trucks is the 33517 for $16.35
