Finally changed the fuel filter on my 2003 Suburban with flex fuel. After two trips, I got the correct replacement fuel filter (a Fram G8219 needed for flex fuel) with a nut on the back and a slip or snap fitting on the front.
However, when I removed the front slip fitting, 3 items fell out of the line. A yellow O-ring, a black plastic stepped washer, and a metal washer. My guess is these items should not have been loose, and should not have fallen out.
But they did, and I cannot figure out what order to stack them back into the fuel line end before snapping the fuel filter in.
I'd be happy to take pictures and upload; don't know how to upload with Google groups. I bought the Suburban new, but it now has ~50,000 miles, so no longer under warranty. Plus, without a fuel line, it would not be fun to tow it to a repair shop.
Does anyone know how to reassemble this thing?
