    Fuel filter, how tight?

    Had it happen a couple of times now where the fuel filter loosens up on its own and fuel gushes down the filter. How tight do you tighten your fuel filter? I've always just got it as tight as I could by hand but starting to wonder if that isn't enough.....

    Strange noise on cold start-up
