M35 Fuel Filter

[scotty nm35]

I fitted a 350z fuel filter to Ironpaw's M35 today, and found the top hole is larger, the Oring wouldn't seal the pressure meaning the rail had no pressure, and the car wouldn't start.

Seems the old fuel filter has a smaller hole, as it was fine when we stuck it back in. I have heard of this Oring leaking before and needing a new Oring to be fitted, I wonder if that was the same issue...

The part no. I used was: 16400-2Y505 (Strainer assy.) but Jethro suggested there may be two different part numbers. Any more information on this before I shove it up the arze of the Nissan parts guy?

Scott, I'll ask the mechanic who fixed mine whether he installed a new o-ring.

Was the leak due to a new filter being fitted though?

There is definitely a size difference between the old and new filter outlets. Not happy, I wasted two hours today frigging around with it.

The 350z fuel filter is different....as is the pm35.

350z filter: 16400-2Y505

M35 filter: 16400-4M405

Both look identical, and both have 0.1mm larger outlet holes than the stock one I removed.

I will suggest everyone replace the outlet Oring (P/N: 17049-4M400) when changing the filter,

So can Nissan provide the o ring on it's own so I can use the bloody filter?

Yep, grab one from Nissan mate, they are only $2 or so.

Thanks Dale.
