The explainer label is somewhat in the way in the photo below, but you can at least see the top rib pattern and perimeter of the OEM fuel bowl lid.
The sign in the photo above blocks our view of the center of the fuel bowl lid, so I've added another photo below to show the center, in order to show that the OEM lid does not have any type of hex or socket feature in the center.
Today on my way home from work I stopped in at the local Ford dealership.
Almost choked when he quoted me the price for the filter but I bucked up the $138.21 after tax dollars.
It gets installed tomorrow afternoon once I get back from exchanging the rear tires I had installed 4 weeks ago that weren’t up to the task I asked of them.
no filter is worth that much, I would get another Racor,
I've had one of the cheap billet fuel filter caps off Amazon on mine for couple years now. Uses stock style filters and works great. Never had a issue with it.
You are a glutton for punishment! You need to get a smart phone or a computer and start letting your fingers do the shopping.
I’m well aware of all the different vendors online.
Have done lots of shopping with riff raff, dieselorings, among others from the US as well as here in Canada.
Being in Canada beats me up on U.S. vendor pricing due to exchange, shipping, taxes and duty.
Then there is the lead time for delivery. I tracked a package that took 5 days to go south before being processed at the international hub then making its way north.

I think if you ask nicely, the US gubment will annex your part of Canada.
I would recommend the Riffraff Diesel billet fuel bowl lid and get like 4 filters. Then you are guaranteed no leaks or issues and filtration you can count on.

Having worked in the Parts Dept. of four different Ford / Lincoln Mercury dealers, I have seen where some times parts person will double cost item to the customer.
Mazda parts dealers do it here for MIATA parts.
so instead of the normal 40 % mark up you are paying 100% mark up.
