A photo of the area you are describing would be helpful. Hard to picture from your description. Usually plain elbow fittings have male threads, but if it is a 90 deg hose fitting, then it would be a female nut.

Yes, it is that bottom photo, those nuts spin, correct? One end is directly on the filter and on the other end is the braided hose set up. Would take a photo, but it is real tight in that area, not even sure I can fit my hands up into that area to do wrench work untill I get it up on the lift and see. Then I will prepare my Neosporin for hand scrapes and vodke to help wash down the spewing gas (however if I am quick with the connections, then that 6AN plug sure is going to help stop the gas temporarily till I make the filter switch).

Yes, the nut spins. Your filter has a male thread so hold that steady.
I'll have to try the Neosporin and vodka remedy. The Prestone martinis leave me feeling a little "off".

Thanks, I figured those nuts we meant to turn, but I leanred not to assume things. Ha yeah I almost forgot about the Prestone martini, I had to revisit it. http://www.poca.com/index.php/...ery/?g2_itemId=18589

Goter done. I ordered Fuelab filters 10 micron for post filter and 75 micron for the pre pump filter. Much better filters than the set that was on the car (which my FI guy says were for a carburated car, 35 micron too big). Expensive stuff, over $100 per filter, but the car screams now, no hesitation whatsoever. The filters were about double length and over double diameter than the other set, almost didn't think I could fit them in (and I choose the smallest fuelab filters).
Good news Jan!
