Whenever I have had starting issues, the Davco is always the first place I go, and so far, that is where the problem has been. I carry an extra Davco with o rings in the truck just for that reason, along with my Davco Wrench. Start simple and then move up the chain...

And I know you do not have the Davco, but same principle involved with the gasket on your screw on unit, been there too, rare they mess up that filter, but it still happens, oil filters too, that is a real mess.

I had to listen to your advice sooner and I would save a lot of time, I just couldn't imagine how it is possible to install filter wrong ))) . I was not even thinking of it. How wrong I was. Is Davco filter superior to regular filter? I have Davco on dead engine, so might as well install it.

If you have that Davco, I would install it, it is nice to actually be able to visually see what is going on with your fuel, like if the Davco bowl suddenly fills up, odds are you bought some water laden fuel, and it is nice to be able to see just that, and easily drain off when need be. And if you do install, I purchase the filters off of the internet, 10 micron, usually a few at a time and try to carry one with me along with the wrench. The filters come with new o rings, the wrench is inexpensive and can be purchased at FleetPride. The filter wrenches are plastic or metal, I like the metal ones, I think I paid around $10 for mine.
