Got it all apart and it looks like it has been leaking for some time. The wire harness that goes to the water in fuel sensor and the bowl heater are toast, the fuel has turned the insulation on the wires to jelly. I was trying to clean them off and chunks of insulation started peeling off and was a gooey mess. I am going to check with ford tomorrow and wee if I can get that little harness. I got the bowl cleaned and the drain valve rings replaces with the vitron ones. Does anyone sell a kit for the other rings on the bowl? The one for the water sensor and heater, since I have it apart I might as well do all them. I am going by NAPA tomorrow and get some fuel injection hose and new clamps to replace the short hoses that were swollen and cracked. Depending on if I can get the parts I should be up and running in a couple days, just have afternoons to work on this. Thank heavens the Toyota isnt giving me any problems, knock on wood.
I didnt have to remove anything A/C related to do this. Just take your time and you should be OK, this is the first work I have ever done on a diesel, it just looks more intimidating than it really is.
