Hello,
After a six year hiatus, I'm back on board. My old 18xd is leaking around the fuel filter assembly. I looked up the part number and came up with 98277.Went to the dealer and he gave me 25-897536. Is this right? It's a flat o ring but looks like I need a round o ring. The filter cannister doesn't look like it was made for this seal. What ya'll think?

YES IT WILL WORK FINE. Merc made a round rubber O ring seal and the flat one that the dealer gave you. Both fit the filter you have and the only real difference is there is more sealing area on the flat ring. Make sure that it is tightened up enough to seal and not leak any air into the fuel system.
