How often should they be replaced? I got a 99 S-10 4x4 and the manual says every 30,000 miles. I generally fill up at gas stations of which are very busy most of the time so there is no risk of dirty fuel.
The last time it was done was at 101,000 miles. Now I'm at 122,000 miles. |

Well, I managed to round off the nut that is on the fuel line. I tried to back it off the old filter last night and it was not budging.
Looksl ike I have to repair it. Napa sells a fuel line repair kit where you cut your existing fuel line and use compression fittings to install a new line with a new nut on it. Any good or what is my next option? |

Little update: i was able to get my 16Mm open end wrench and used the method to turn the filter. I even had that 16Mm wrench rest on the frame while I attempted to turn the filter. I started to round off that portion of the flare nut.
Judging by how tight it is, Vice grips probably won't do any better. |
