Yeah i did them back in the right order. the old one went back on with no problems. Dude that sold it at pep boys was all over the place so it is possible he just grabbed the wrong one.
Has anyone had any bad experiences with pep boys fuel filters? The locking end that goes to the tank had a different end than the factory one and i decided to try it out and couldn't get it to lock all the way. So I was a little irritated and try to force it to lock, primed and started the car...
