Fuel Filter Socket
FYI, the size of the socket head on the fuel filter is 29mm. Best used with a universal and an extension. Always start the cap by hand and use O-ring lube on the new O-ring. Never use Diesel to lube the rubber O-ring.

1 1/8"=2.8575 centimeters or 28.575mm. Close enough to 29mm for gov't work! I've never had consistant "luck" using Diesel for a lubricant, especially on delivery valves. Engine oil is OK, but I personally like using O-ring lube. It just seems to slather on better and I don't have to be concerned with the O-ring getting pinched. But, whatever floats your boat

Dow Corning makes a lube that I like (Dow 111), Wurth makes a silicone lube that is great too, or you can use dielectric grease that you put on electrical connections. Use your finger, not a brush or rag that could leave hair or lint on the sealing surface.
