PROBLEM
The existing fuel filter base bracket mounting bolts can become loose on certain C18 Marine Right-Hand Service engines. The existing bolts are too long and may bottom out in the hole, without providing proper clamping force. If the existing bolts become loose, they can back out and possibly contact the fuel filter canister. |
