what did I do wrong?

Good morning

It appears I need to learn a little something of changing fuel filters.

I repalced my cruddy fuel lines ( leaking ) and decided to replace the fuel filter ( Main ) after I did a diesel purge.

Leak of diesel came from the top of the bolt. So I wait days for the local dealer to get me the rubber ring for the bolt as well as the copper seal ring . Replaced them both and yesterday as I look under the bonnet I see that this did not solve the problem.

When I replaced both O ring and seal ring I cleaned bolt - I hand tightened the main filter then tightened the bolt- and I even primed the main filter seal ring with diesel - still I have diesel pooling on the main filter housing

Anyone care to instruct on what I did wrong?

Please and thanks

Have a great weekend

Peace
