I just ordered the Racor OEM lid off EBay for $24.95 with free shipping. I said screw it since I just paid $37 for the Motorcraft fuel filter. I think except for oil and such I need to stick with Motorcraft.
I know this is an old thread but I bought the Motorcraft had to replace the lid bought one from O'riellys returned the first and the second also leaked. I am getting the Wix with lid built in, I hope this cures the leak this is very frustrating.
