Needing a fuel filter cap
Hey guys!
I was going to change my fuel filter today and noticed that the PO had stripped out the insert for the wrench and cracked the dang housing so needless to say I was a little annoyed I can get it off but I would like it to be RIGHT. I called the stealership and they want 58 bucks for the thing and none of the local parts stores have them just the cap and filter set up. I was wondering if anyone who deleted there fuel bowl would have there cap laying around and be able to help me out.
Thanks in advance guys!

I had a couple of them but I'm pretty sure I threw them out when I was cleaning last time. I'll check tomorrow, if I can find one you can have it.
If not just buy a new filter that comes with a cap...advanced auto or autozone, I can't remember which one. Then you have a spare filter.

If you cannot find one here try Ebay. I bought one there last year. I think it was 20 bucks. I also bought a wrench from Powerstrokeshop.com that fits the lid perfectly and keeps it from getting torn up.

I use the fuel filter with the attached cap. I keep the old (nonattached) cap in my truck tool box in case I need to buy a filter on the road and don't which type I might be able to get.
