Fuel Filter housing

[Kegracing]

Has anyone replaced their fuel filter housing with a metal aftermarket one? I do not like the plastic housing… but love how easy the filter is to replace.
Also, anyone else have issues putting housing/filter back in? Feels too tight, too quick, when o-ring starts into housing.

Thanks
Ken

Yes. I felt the same way. Make sure you lube the o-ring good with fuel and use a six-sided socket.

I bought 3 housings on Amazon from iJFJ for my trucks. No issues with them.

I agree with the ease with filter replacement, but was more impressed with how easily it was to prime.

Thanks gemarsh!
I agree on the easy priming. Also easy to get to. I had a 2003 duramax, and was a pain to reach the filter. Then the pumping to prime…. Loving my LZO so far.
