Cleaning Andair filter

Hey all, I’m cleaning the Andair fuel filter for my annual condition inspection and I can’t find anything about how much to tighten it on reassembly.

Anyone know?
 
Jeff, I just tightened mine until the safety-wire holes in the removable portion were concentric with those in the canister. I’ve gone through two CIs now with no leaks using this method. And I ended up using small gauge electrical wire as safety wire, as you can see how small the holes are.
 
Nord lock washers will replace safety wire in this application. Do a search here in the RV-12 section to find out more about it.

Thanks Bob!
