Can't remember ever replacing mine. I keep forgetting it.

I think it's a universal.

It is universal, it comes with 3 sizes of fittings so it works with just about any fuel hose.

I found it for $7 online (amazon.com), but couldn't wait so paid $12 for it at Advance Auto Parts.

The spare filter screens (3x) are the same $6 online and at Advance.

Tell you what though, being glass and metal it does weigh 3 or 4 times as much as the original. Adding weight to the max, LOL..

I stopped at Napa and picked up their Taiwan made, see through glass, 3/8 fuel filter yesterday. Took out my old one and put it in. in about 10 minutes.
Then I cut open the old one which was a little on the reddish brown side instead of white plastic.
Wasn't too bad for being on there for at least two years.
just a little debris in the folds.
