I found out recently that the 525LS weedwhacker uses the standard husky fuel filter, not one of the smaller ones with the metal nipple/body. If I had just looked in the tank instead of going by the recommendation, I could've saved a few bucks.
Are 2-stroke fuel filters all the same?

Didnt you take your old one out to see before buying anything?
I always put in what I take out if I know right filter in it. Like new stuff I have bought. Only time I change that is when I put a afm walbro one in place.
IPL for yours shows 591375401
One in a new 555 for work. Orange husky filter

Usually, yes, but this was a lapse of judgement. Looked up the part and it showed the other filter type.
Can't blame anyone but myself, just saying that even some of the small 25cc tools use standard filters.
I dont know where you got your info. But why I use their IPL's when looking up part. 591375401
Shows same part number in white and orange cap. So guessing just updated. https://www.husqvparts.com/Husqvarn...qH_hQ4s_ElrGwM0PHT9WWOZBLYbhze855MeJy0c2JuiRE
I can kinda confirm that. I stopped by my dealer on the way home last evening (the crapoy dealer thays close.) Asked for a coupple of the new husqy filters and he came back with the orange colored ones. Told him I wanted the blue ones. (Got an eye roll.) Asked him the difference, he said the blue was for auto tune and they use the orange ones in everything else that takes the large filter and isn't autotune. Seemed simple enough. Got 4 of the blue tops and was on my way.
