New fuel shutoff valve, ball valve filter
I just received a new ball-valve type fuel shutoff with the hex shaped opening and pencil filter. The filter fits loosely in the inlet side of the valve. Its not even close to a interference fit. What holds the filter in place ?? I'm afraid it will bounce out of the valve if not attached some way. Any ideas ??

Wrapped mine with tin foil. No problems so far, over 5000 miles.

Pinch the tube with a pair of pliers to make the tube slightly egg-shaped. Then push the tube into the on/off valve. That interference fit will hold it in place inside the on/off valve. I've done this dozens of times and the filter always stays in place, as evidenced when the valve was removed clean crud off the filter.

Update; I contacted Snyder's and was informed that the new valves, Part # A-9189-A, are actually ball valves.

Re: New fuel shutoff valve, ball valve filter
I had the opposite problem - the filter would not fit all the way into the valve so I had to file it down a little with sandpaper. As someone said make sure you have the correct filter.
