Angry Secondary Fuel Filter leaking agian......

OK so here is the whole story. When i first bought the 240D the secondary fuel filter hadnt been changed in more than a year, so i decided to change it, bought a filter from auto zone and put it on, needless to say the filter looked like it had a messed up gasket, and so it started to leakin, a lil at first, but after letting it sit on an incline for 4 days when i was in tennessee i saw it leaking down the driveway, so on friday i bought a new one from autozone, thinking that the one i had on there was lewaking because of the bad gasket. I tightened the new one and now it is leaking agian.

My question is, is this a problem for anyone else?

were do other people get there secondary filters

and how tight are u suppose to tighten the top bolt?? i tightened it really hard but dont want to tighten it any harder(unless i should) because its really tight right now


any help would be appriciated
