JBugs Tips & Tricks - Fuel Filter & Tap Installation:

Video Overview:

The flared end on replacement fuel taps can often seem a little too large to fit through the sealing washer and the mounting nut. Normally, a little extra push against a hard surface is all it takes to get the tap through the nut, and one it is fitted through the nut, just press it through the washer. Then you can slide a new fuel filter into the tank, follow it with the tap, the sealing washer and finally the nut to secure everything to the tank!

And after you've pushed through that, as far as installing into our tank, we start with the filter, followed by the tap, our newly fit washer, and the nut. And that's the order of installation.
