Please fill out the following to ask a question.
MAKE: Lincoln
MODEL: town car
YEAR: 2007
MILES: 80,000
ENGINE: 4.6
DESCRIBE ISSUE....Hello, i replaced a (I believe the original) fuel filter. It appeared to be the source of my raw gas smell (from a previous post).
However, I had A hard time removing it due to the extensive rust on it.
My question is ......there was a black plastic ring, along with two o rings. The black plastic ring was stuck on the fuel filter. Once I removed said ring, I placed it on the new filter, along with the o rings. however I could not secure the fuel hose with the black plastic ring on the fuel filter, so I just slipped the two o rings and secured the fuel line.
It is not leaking , as I had the car runnIng for some time. But have not driven it yet.
My question is, what was this black plastic ring and will it cause a problem with out it being there?
See picture for clarification....I marked the black plastic ring with two arrows for ease of identification.
Will this cause some problem when driving ?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts....
