Fuel filter removal issue

Is it because it would contaminate the fuel or are there other reasons?

Is there some sort of a chart that you can provide that has all the torque specs for this car? It would really come in handy whenever I'm working on my car.

Thank you!

Cheers!

Are you sure these are all the torque specs for my car? For instance, I don't see the specs for brake components and suspension components just to name a few.

By the way, the torque spec for the fuel filter flare nut - is what I have circled in the attached picture what you were referring to? If not, then which one is it on that chart?

In terms of absolutely not using anti-seize on the fuel filter flare nut- is it because it would contaminate the fuel or are there other reasons? Just as nuch as there are people who oppose the use of it, there are people who do advocate it, so I was just wondering what the downside is?

Thank you!

So, there is only a difference of 1 ft-lbs between the OEM and the replacement line?

What about the compression fitting - how tight should it be or is there a recommended torque spec for it? I have attached a picture of it.

Thank you!

If you remember, you also mentioned that it was worth a try, but to keep an eye on it. I have also asked around some people who have used that method on their very old cars to see how it has been holding up for them, and they have said that they haven't experienced any problems or leaks. Nevertheless, I'm willing to give it a shot and see how it goes. If it fails, I already have my backup plan of assembling my own fuel line with a new steel line that is available in auto parts store.

So, how tight should the compression fitting be or is there a recommended torque spec for it?

I forgot about the banjo bolt on top of the fuel filter. What is the torque spec for it?

Thank you!

Yes, I noticed the fuel filter comes with 2 new washers.

Thank you!

Is a premium nickel-copper line a better option instead of a steel line to replace the fuel line?

Thanks!
