Default ftb mod?

Does anyone know what's needed and how to do it. Pulling fuel filter housing off to fix a leak and replacing the three hoses underneath anyways

It is a direct replacement. I did not need anything special. Just wrenches. be very careful. the wall of the IP fitting is thin. If you over torque it it will break. The increased diameter comes at the expense of the fitting wall thickness. it is not a big deal, just don't over torque it.

And if you do, like I did not, you can ask nicely for a replacement and thous kind benevolent souls will send one out.

FYI the hoses are not anything special. If you have fuel hose around you can use it or go to the store for a couple of feet of hose. That hose is low pressure.
