So I am replacing my fuel filter. Got it all back together and it leaks from the 90°. I put Teflon tape on the threads of the 90 going into the filter and tightened the compression fitting as tight as I could on the hard line. Can I get that copper sleeve local in the compression fitting to replace it? I believe this is where the fuel is leaking from. Thanks!

We have an updated kit for when this happens. Replaces the terrible elbow design with a proper threaded fitting and seal along with new crush sleeve and tube nut. Simply cut off the old line and install the updated section.

Well I may need to call you tomorrow for it. I just got the fuel filter from you the other day. Do you sell the elbow separate?

Hello Josh,

can the new elbow be used with the "later style" fuel filter with the captive nut at the bottom?
