Fuel Filter Question

Old butter fingers (me!!) dropped this new, metal cased, fuel filter on the floor. It now rattles, from something inside, when I shake it. Have I screwed it or is this normal? Not sure if it rattled before.

I would toss it and get a new one. They are not supposed to rattle. $20.00 spent is well worth the peace of mind.

Switch to an OEM style fuel filter. It will be more reliable and maybe cheaper.

For example these are from turbocharged 300zx, same design as the one you posted (canister type) but larger.
