Ensure the threaded nipple did not unscrew with the oil filter. If the nipple
came out with the oil filter, remove it from the filter carefully to avoid
damaging the threads.

To reinstall the nipple, thoroughly clean the threads and apply
Loctite 242 (blue) to the end with the short threads and replace it in
the tank (Figure 39).

Clean the gasket sealing surface on the front of the tank and inspect it for
damage. The surface must be free of old gasket material and smooth to
ensure a good seal. (Figure 36).

Spin the filter onto the threaded nipple until the gasket contacts the
sealing surface on the tank, then tighten the filter an additional 3/4 to 1
turn to seat the gasket.

Remove the filler cap on the WHASP Tank. Fill the WHASP Tank with
