I am trying to find an output hose bolt that goes into one end of fuel filter (bottom).
Could it be called something else?
It holds the fuel high pressure hose onto the bottom of the fuel filter assembly.
Any ideas.

That would be known as a banjo bolt. You would need to take the old one to be sure you get the correct threads and size. Or take the filter in and test the bolt in it.

The old bolt is missing so I will take old fuel filter in to check for size! Thanks so much!

Well I had no luck finding the bolt size. I went by every auto parts store in Memphis and called Gosset Mitsubishi. No one could help with the size. There are several suppliers on line with bolts of every size. So still stuck on what size I need for the 91 Mighty Maxx.

Wow, they must not stock much. The bolt is a 12mm X 1.25 thread

Here are some you can get online.

These even have 1/8" ports that allow you to check the fuel pressure... (just install a plug for normal use)
