So....Apparently Purolator just repackages Mann fuel filters.
Just using those coupons at Advance Autoparts I listed earlier in a thread
Ordered online and then drive .6 miles to go pick it up. NO shipping charges
This is a fantastic price because even discount MB lists there price at almost double.

More to come
Apparently I need diagonal clippers to get the hose clamps off and need to buy special "use one time" hose clamps and use a crimper tool. Anyone tried and lug nut hose clamps?
Anyways. Once I get more tools, I'll post the fuel filter DIY walkthrough.

No need to post a DIY it's been done.
Just get brutal with those clamps, twist 'em off, they'll come apart.
Wear some eye protection just in case gas sprays.
Most auto parts stores sell FI hose clamps. Or even just ones from the hardware store.
Be sure to not be near an ignition source, ie that water heater in your garage could end things. I try to do one hose at a time, so no confusion on which hose goes where, but label them to be sure.
FYI Rock auto has filters for cheap.
