i already read the FAQ, but i was putting the new one in and when i turned the car to the on position to cycle the car so the fuel pressure built up the filter started leaking. when i went to check it i noticed it was only leaking from the one side and the fittings were a tiny bit loose, does anyone know what i am doing wrong? and might anyone have pics of their fuel filter on their car.

never mind, i figured it out, i was missing a gasket that didnt come with the new filter....

The only thing that could be wrong are the lines not being all the way on. I just paid a 5 year old to install mine and it's a-ok.

Gasket? There is only 2 clips.

my 93 taurus did that to me. one of the orings that are supposed to stay on the fuel line, stayed in the old filter.
but mine didnt leak until i was 15 miles from the shop.
