1st time this has ever happened since i've had my truck (2003). The fuel filter top and bottom have come apart and the bottom "end cap" is stuck in the bottom of the filter cannister. Has anyone ever had this happen? What's easiest way to remove the stuck "end cap" without messing up anything?

 

I take it this is a diesel? What year?

Can you fish something down there, and hook it out?

 

'03 2500 Cummins. That's my next approach is to stick a hook down in there. just trying to see if anyone else had experienced same.

 

never had one of these filters come apart like this. it's the fleetguard filter

 

Don't think I have ever seen it either.... But, I don't work on diesels if I can avoid it.
