Has anyone used freezing spray to help loosen fuel filter fittings? Is there a better option? It's a gas engine so don't want to apply heat.
An old timer showed me a cool (warm) trick that works really good. A heat gun or really hot hair dryer. Warm the fitting and melt a birthday candle into the tube end and then the threaded end. The paraffin wicks in where it needs to go. I was skeptical until I saw it work. I certainly didn't want to replace the fuel lines .

That was before I knew about PB'laster or Kroil. Candles just dont cut it anymore.I have heard of that all through out my career, but never met anyone who actually done it or knew if that would work. Now I know, and maybe I will keep some candles on the truck.
