Ok this is the third time I've failed to change my fuel filter. First time I had no tool, second time I had one from repco and this time I tried one from burson. None of them fit!!! It's a 3/8 I'm pretty sure that's meant to be right. On one side of the filter it's too small to fit over the fitting and on the other side the fitting is the right diameter but it's a T piece and the stupid tool is too long to go over it. Has someone broke it in the past and put on an aftermarket one maybe? This is really annoying me!

Why can't they just be like my vp and have a hose clamp. Everyone has a tool to change their fuel filter that way, a ####ing screw driver!

I tried to take a pick of the filter before. My phone doesn't feel like taking photo's today just turns itself off when I try to lol. It came in a 3 pack a red, blue and black tool. The blue is the biggest and won't fit over the green fitting unless you force/stretch it. But even so will not release it. The black one would fit over the other one if the T piece was not in the way.
