I replaced rear fuel filter but I'm having trouble getting it to seal w/o leaking.
 
The filter is type that has a bulb that houses the filter cartridge inside all of which is held in place a threaded ring(which has a o-ring inside. I'm thinking I might need a new o-ring and a smaller set of hands Thanks for your reply
 
does sound like a new O ring is needed..should be an easy fix...russ

be sure and not to over tighten it, that could make it leak.
