I have a 2004 Onan 5500 with low hours. Always runs great. Started last night and I have a drip at the fuel filter at carb. I understand this filter can be eliminated. Is there a kit with fittings to change out? Anyone have the part number? Thanks, Tim

The original filters(China) had a dangerous leak problem. Replace it with new style.

I used the adapter shown above. Note that when Onan went to just one filter and added the adapter they went to a new filer. Fuel filter new style = #149-2341-01

You can use the commercial replacement adapter like this one or just go to your local auto parts store and look for a fitting that will work. Good idea to replace the fuel line from the pump to the carb at the same time.
