All-
I've looked around a bit, as I seem to have seen it before, but can't run across an install of a Nicktane Fuel Uber-Filter. I'm sure it's pretty straight-forward, but I was hoping to see another members install pictures to get a leg up.

Thanks!

The two worm clamps are kinda difficult to get at with the HUGE filter in place... That's about the hardest part of the install.

Nicktane...

installed it last evening. One question I have for those who already have theirs installed successfully, what torque is required on the bolts through the Banjo fittings, I tightened them down pretty snug, but seem to have a little leak, and it's not coming from the hose clamps.
Thanks!

Mine didn't leak & I didn't use a torque wrench. If it's leaking a wee bit I'd say just snug it down another 1/4 turn or so.
