blown fuel filter gasket

I shimmed my fpr finally not to long ago and the next day while i was going into work i burnt about twice as much fuel as i normally would. when i left from a light i looked in the rear view and saw the largest cloud of whit smoke i have ever seen and had to duck my head out of embarresment. when i got to work i saw that the gasket was letting fuel blow rite past it. but a new filter never hurts.

Sounds like your filter top was not all the way tight. I've had mine leak before cuz I didn't get it tightened enough.

maybe it wasnt tight enough but it didnt hurt to change it out anyways. just thought i would let every body know not to scare them away but to let them know that well they need to tighten down that cap. haha
