Upper fuel filter cap ??

I just replaced my factory upper fuel filter cap that cracked with a new aluminum cap. I seen the factory cap had two small holes in the groove below the o ring. The new cap didn't have these holes in it. I'm wondering what those holes r for. An do I need to drill two small holes in the new cap I have.

I can't say I've ever inspected my cap closely, but I don't recall noticing any holes in it. I also can't think of any reason they'd need holes there. I think the new cap you have will be fine.

the factory cap does have holes. it is to prevent suction when you unscrew the cap.

You have to have 25 posts before you can do that...I think. I know you need 25 before you can PM. You could always join your state's chapter to help you crank up the number of posts you have.

Regional Chapters - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

There are a couple of folks that post in different state chapters just to ramp their post numbers up.
