Your best bet is to try the dealership or try to reuse your old one if it isn't damaged.

I GOT IT! You just helped me solved the puzzle! bahahah! Ok, so anyone whos read about my Riv has probably read about how the PO(s) were/was an ignoramus. When I started working on my filter I noticed that it looked like the quick disco female end was replaced. I could see a seam where it looked like it was attached.

Then, when I took the old filter off and put the new one on, I used the same oring. It wasnt sealing right so I tried without it thinking it didnt belong in the connect because the connection should seal itself like all other quick disconnects. Then when I conceded that an oring must go into the female end, I found one and of course compared it to the original oring. The original looked disfigured compared to the fresh ring.

Now it makes sense. Im sure that oring wasnt fuel rated either, was reshaped chemically and did not seal right once taken off and reassembled!

I will check around for a ring tomorrow. Thanks again, 98riv!

No problem. Where did you end up finding one?
