Author	Topic:   Verado 250 Fuel Filters
dickpalma	posted 05-24-2009 10:06 AM ET (US)         After about 30min of running my starbord engine began to run ruff and then stopped. I suspected fuel problems and tried to take out the fuel filter as per the manual's dirsction. However, I couldn't get the plastic cap off the filter. The manual intimates that it should only be hand tightened, but I couln't budge it, and stopped when I began to damage the plastic spines. I'll check with the dealer after the four day holiday, but would like some ideas before that.

When you put it back on, you should use some dielectric grease or vaseline on the threads. Ethanol expands the filter and makes it terrible to get off if you have not done this.
