I occasionally have problems getting the fuel filter to seal well. Look at
fuel line connections to make sure they are dry (grey, not dark). A lot of
times a bad seal doesn't drip, just evaporates of the line. However, that
probably wouldn't account for bad mileage. I missed your previous post so I
don't know what symptoms your engine is showing. If you have bad idle it
could be leaky cold start valve, mixture, timing, lots of things.
