Wrong parts all the way around, 2nd time!

I needed a spark plug cap for my lawnmower, bought at Sears. I had the make and model number. Good salesman talked me into buying oil filter and air filter, for the same postage ($10, quite high for light-weight small objects), so I thought what the heck, I could have the repairman give me a total tune up. Turns out 1) the plug was made for a completely different make of lawnmower clearly stated on the package; 2) My make and model doesn't even have an oil filter, 3) of course the air filter was for a different lawnmower. I didn't realize this until the repairman came, whom I had to pay of course, so that was money down the tubes. Sears did give me a full refund on my purchase, including postage, but no reimbursement for the repair man who couldn't repair but got paid for showing up. Last time I ordered a part from this vendor they sent the wrong cable. I should have known!

Direct Repacement

Direct replace of OEM filter. Loosen the fuel hose clamps and just swap out the old filter for the new. Keep in mind the fuel flow direction on the old filter. A little messy, have some paper towels handy, but easy.

Easy to Install

The filter was easy to install. You do need to make sure that you have a container to pour the gas into when you disconnect the old filter from the tubing.

Which direction does the go?

Fuel filter replacement maintenance part number 33392, available for more than ten years, currently replaced with fuel filter part number 394358S, 33392 at least had a diagram on the back of the package which clearly showed the filter orientation in-line between the carburetor and the fuel tank - 394358S has nothing to help with this and you can easily put it in backward.

fits Perfect

Filter was correct. Fuel lines were of a thicker gauge then the ones I was replacing, so the clamps sold were too small for the fuel lines purchased. Had to use small hose clamps.
