Oil Filter Canister ???

[55 Fargo]

Hi all, in the oil filter canister on a by-pass oil filter, you have the top seal the filter, and a little rubber washer.

Where does the little neoprene washer go, does it slide over the rod that the oil filter goes onto through the center of the filter?

Does it go on first to jeep the oil filter up on the bottom?

Or does this go on the cap screw on the canister top?

I just cleaned up and repainted the filter canister, and do not remember where the small neoprene washer goes.................Thanx Fred

My guess would be for the screw in the cover, to seal it up.

I just looked at two of them in the garage a couple of days ago and there were small rubber seals at the bottom of the center pipe. The filter was sitting directly on them and hold down by a spring loaded thing attached to the lid.

I don't know if this is right, but it certainly looked good. And, there were two of them like that.

I'll go look again.
