ABSTRACT:
An improved bracket for quickly and effortlessly mounting a fuel filter to a vehicle includes a base and a pair of mounting bolts for mounting the base to a vehicle surface. A first arcuate shaped member and a second arcuate shaped member extend from the base in a like direction and in opposing fashion and create an open cross section of a greater dimension than a corresponding cross section of the fuel filter. The fuel filter is axially inserted between the arcuate arms and into the bracket and abuts against a pair of inwardly directed tabs at an opposite axial end of the bracket. Fastener receiving portions extend from the arcuate side members and include aligned apertures which receive a fastening bolt. The bolt is rotatably tightened to draw the receiving portions and associated arcuate side members toward each other and to compressingly bias the bracket around the fuel filter.
