Those aren't the right solution, and when it comes to gasoline under pressure, you need the right solution. Stripped threads on the outlet side of the filter can let slivers of metal into the fuel injection system.

Actually, I found that I had under torqued the fitting and, with some trouble, now have it right. Since I could only fit a 5 1/2 inch long wrench in the space provided by Toyota, I had to exert an excessive amount of force to tighten it fully. As I was worried about over- torquing, too, I didn't give it enough at the original installation. I had to buy a shortened 19cm wrench which was 7 inches long to work against the motorcycle wrench as my standard sized tools didn't fit. It was quite difficult holding one wrench at an adequate angle and then fiting my other hand into the space provided to pull on the wrench that fit the nut. I will send you invitations to my blog where you can see pictures.

I do hope that with all the struggling I did with the old nut I didn't introduce slivers into the injection system. Now, though, I have something more to worry about.

From the information in your other post indicating that all you needed to do was to tighten further, you will not need to worry about this. Tomes

Look on eBay. Sometimes you can find one cheaper.
