    I just realized I didn’t put oring in new cap- oring is bigger than factory housing - have factory back in for now

    When I checked the leaking billet cap my oring was down around bottom of threads- I installed factory on with the oring in the same place and no leaks- I guess I got one of the wonky ones. Now I remember why I haven’t bought cheap stuff for this truck LOL- black market CAT filter here I come

    That is where the oring sits on mine too.

    Sounds like a machining defect in the cap.

    That would explain why it was hard to thread on too.

    Mine spins on and snugs up easily by hand.

    If it spun on easy and doesn't leak then you should be good to go.

    Re: Fuel filter billet cap.

    Rather than start a new thread (poor forum etiquette?), I’ll ask this simple question here…

    I have the el-cheapo iFJF cap too.
    I’ve read the horrid reviews about how they leak and are near impossible to remove after they age but I have also read that it is crucial to lubricate the O-ring (and threads) upon installation to insure that the cap can be removed (without a Sawzall) at your next filter change.




    So my questions is:

    Okay, I’ll lube the threads & O-ring but lube them with what?
    DW-40?
    Motor oil?
    3-In-One?
    Bearing grease?

    I’m afraid to install the new billet cap until I get an answer.

    Thanks!

    The only thing I'd personally lube the o-ring with would be motor oil or diesel fuel.

    Don't cross thread it or torque it down to 743 ft lbs and you shouldn't have any problems.
