So my fuel is dripping out of my Fuel filter like crazy!

if you are looking at the fuel filter form the passanger side of the car, its the side closest to you (or the passanger side of the vehicle) thats leaking, right where the fuel lines goes into the filter...ive tried tighting it, but its still leaking. not sure what its problem is, i noticed the filter has a big silver nut of its own...do i need to crank the silver nut LEFT while cranking the fuel line RIGHT??? All ive been doing is cranking the fuel line RIGHT to tighten it.

yes

You need to have a wrench on the filter nut when you are tightening the fuel line nut otherwise you won't get enough torque on it to get a seal

Okay good to know...last question...is it possible that i might have loosened the filter nut? is that possible? like can the fillter nut be loosened from the filter itself?

The filter nut is welded to the filter, it is possible that you cracked the filter housing thus causing the leak.

If you replaced the old fuel filter,the O ring may have stuck to the filter. Probubley a good Idea to replace them anyway....Too big or too small could allso cause a fuel leak.

Oh it's welded! kk, i'll check, thanks guys!

Drives me nuts when people refer to turning a fitting "left" or "right". Think about it... it makes no sense!

It's "clockwise" or "counter-clockwise".

You will need to hold the filter nut from moving at all while you tighten the fuel line nut. You do not want the filter nut to turn because then the whole filter will turn.
