Fuel Filter Identification

[Dude]

Can anybody confirm, please?

I have an 06 XC70 with a fuel filter that looks like this https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/32187...-1/s-l1000.jpg

Am I right in believing this is for the paper element type?

Usual problem, difficult to get off, so have ordered the correct tool per other threads here, for which thanks. If you break it, it looks very expensive to replace the whole thing!

yes a paper element inside , don't ram it up tight , it says the tightening torque on the cover i believe ..

He's got to get it off first! One of the more nerve-wracking diy jobs, because the first rule of fuel filter fitment seems to be 'tighten the b'stard until your knuckles bleed'!
