I have a Chevy Astro van 97 the in line fuel filter is fused with the lines due to rust , I cannot remove the connections the nuts are totally worn do you recommend replacing them? and where I can get them?
@Vmartin70EZ Hi, you need a fuel line repair kit to install the new fuel filter. I used 2 of these when I installed the fuel filter on the Caprice. The kit is made by Dorman - P/N 800-157. It's a 30" 3/8 steel fuel line, which includes the correct fitting for the filter (w/ O ring), and a comp. fitting to tie into the existing fuel line. These kits are available at your local auto store. Good luck!

those white zip ties by the rubber boot will crumble after a month or two of driving.
If they are of any importance I'd switch them out to black ones.

Looks good! For the duration of the Capiece's life it will surely have fuel!
