Abstract
A wrench cap of molded plastic defines an interior space into which project a plurality of lugs. The lugs engage ribs projecting from a threaded cover for a fuel filter housing. A conventional wrench or wrench handle cooperates with a hex coupling on the wrench cap to rotate the wrench cap and thus the threaded cover. This facilitates removal of the cover from the fuel filter housing so that a filter element in the housing can be changed.
