Not with $7 shipping. Plenty of $8 filters out there.

Buy in bulk and have it all on hand when you need it. You can get a 2 year supply of air, fuel and oil filters at great prices from IOS for not much more in shipping.

keep that in mind.The smell of gas in the car would be because of that right?or what filter was it?I bet it hasn't been changed in years so im jumping on it since i smell gas everytime i turn the heater on but whats the price of the bulk in most cases?

Its not the filter (which is probably due for replacement anyway, so do it). Its the hoses. Head to your local Autozone and buy the CORRECT SIZE (MUST BE CORRECT SIZE DO A SEARCH OR READ THE FSM DON'T JUST EYEBALL IT) fuel hoses to attach to your new fuel filter. Get new clamps too.

Enjoy.

Also, OEM fuel filters have a solid metal housing. The aftermarket ones are plastic at the bottom, which leads me to think they are less robust.

Jesda has good advice, however most q45 fuel leaks are from the hard to reach fuel hoses under the plenum, not the ones by the filter.

[Q451990]

Skip any fuel filter with any plastic casing... honestly, just go with OEM... not that much more expensive and you know what you're getting.

We have heard of plastic filters melting and catching on fire - especially placed any closer to the exhaust manifold than the OEM location.

I would get a Bosch fuel filter, made in Japan. Often times they are repackaged Nissan filters. I use a 1996 nissan 300zx tt fuel filter! Bigger and better!

And just for the record, VH45DE high pressure fuel line is 5/16 in size.

Taking notes........

Thanks for the info will look into the OEM ones from the dealership.Might look into the BOSCH too.

edit:maybe it's a fuel line thats loose when i changed the valve cover gasket.I was thinking of replacing all hoses too.

Replacing the hoses is not a bad idea, especially since there are so many crap additives in most fuels nowadays.

The high pressure fuel hose around intake runner #8 have a bad habit of leaking ever so slightly when they get old enough and providing one with very nasty smelling ventilation from the dash when the a/c is turned on .

It happens with it not on either so maybe it is that.
