I also have had this issue and others. I received two Racors last week to replace my current ones. Yes it can be a bear to get the bowl off the bottom. My problem was, I had a small fuel leak on one of them. I removed the filter and noticed that top gasket swells up after contact with the fuel. it would not fit back in. changed to a new gasket and still had a leak. ??? removed the filter and found a small pinhole in the bottom side of the filter. The leak dumped about 2 gallons of fuel into my bilge. When I opened the package I was happy to see made in USA on it. Not so much anymore. Parker needs to improve their QA.
