fuel filter change

Most likely been seen before but I changed out my fuel filter today. I checked the posts to determine what I needed before I took a trip to NAPA. I bought a fuel line removal tool and the filter. Turned out I didn't need the tool. As per the pic's I only had to pry off the two plastic clips and then pull off the lines. There is something that was not talked about, a little o-ring and washer that is inside the fitting that fell out when I pulled off the fuel line. Fortunatly the inlet side stayed intact so I was able to see how it went together. I was a fairly easy job except for hunting for the o-ring on the ground!!!
The truck is a 89 E150 van and the filter is located just about under the drivers seat on the frame rail.

No need for the tool on the older models. The newer ones have different line ends.

I found that out later so I get to return the tool. The o-rings were a surprise.
