When you put the banjo on, put the first gasket in, push the bolt through, put the 2nd gasket in, then push everything tight to the filter and thread it.

Bought on Ebay, none available at this time.
I will compare it to original to see if it is same.
Denso might be OEM Supplier.
mine has 165K on it. At what mileage would one consider replacing the fuel filter? I'm one of those who prefers to do PM at personal convenience (in other words before things to go kaput). However, I don't like doing stuff unnecessarily prematurely either
It is really one of those things that isn't 'mileage' dependent. You could get a 'bad' tank of gas in just ONE fill-up under the right circumstances (old tanks, tanker dumping fuel in a low tank, you filling up at the same time).
No Kidding!
Yes, thank you....I know the procedure, its just hard to reach the rear one and get the bolt started. If the banjo fitting has been moved at all (its a rigid fitting, and mine was) then the bolt wants to cross thread or not start at all. You have to let the filter almost 'dangle' in order to get the bolt started and that is when the crush washer closest to the filter falls off and into the nether-regions.

The original owner had it replaced at 70,000. Best I can tell it now has 110,000 on that filter. With a few long trips in the very near future I will be changing mine over the weekend. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks so much for posting this writeup, it is super helpful!
I just finished doing my fuel filter and it took less than an hour all told. Long, skinny arms are a definite benefit when doing this job! Used long socket extension, flex joint, 6 point socket for the 12mm bolts and a flex head gear wrench for the 17mm banjos. Cracked the banjos loose before loosening the mounting bolts, I think that helped a bit.
Tried very hard not to move the rear banjo at all when removing the old filter and the new one went right in and the banjo bolt threaded in with minimal fiddling. Slotted the rear mount to make the install a little easier, not sure it made much difference.
The old filter had apparently been replaced before, it was marked 'made in Israel'.
