i recently replaced the o-rings on the drain valve....picked up the three o-rings off ebay with not so accurate instructions. i had to pull the whole filter assembly from the engine to gain access to the #20 torx screws to remove the valve....after that it was easy. unfortunately it didn't fix what ever is leaking.

I am experiencing a fuel leak and doing searching here to be prepared on what to look for before I tear into it....when I click on the link in the first post I get a message saying I am denied access to that thread and don't have permission to view it.......any real reason for that? is this privledged information? if so, why? I have always found this forum to be a help and this seems a bit counterproductive.

I'm having the same problem with my '97 SDPS and with the website. Hope we get both answers.

Is there a site that has a diagram of the fuel system to help me better understand just where this filter drain valve is located and what I'm getting into?

Great site. Helpful reading.

Sorry guys, the software conversion of the website messed up the original link (and lost the photos).

I just reposted the photos and linked directly to them.

Unhappy I have a big puddle of fuel

I have this big puddle of fuel in the valley of the engine that runs down on the ground at the transmission or back of engine. I also have a leak back at the duel fuel tank switching valve. The rubber fuel lines look like they are special made from the factory with clamps I have never seen before so where do you get them? I am getting air in the lines that causes the truck to almost stall going up hills even with my foot to the floor. Has anyone replaced these lines back at the tank and the switching valve? Will the tanks need to be drained? I just filled both fuel tanks right before the truck started acting up so I have about 30 or more gallons of fuel on board. I have a 1995 7.3 Power Stroke.

Well the verdict is in and here is what was done to fix the truck after service codes were ran. Had to replace the exhaust pressure sensor, injection control pressure, EBP & tube, ICP, IPR, bad leaking lift pump and hoses, low fuel pressure sensor and injector o-rings. Checked fuel filter and found to be like new and injector pump is good. My truck runs like a new truck and now you can actually feel the power the truck has gained and hear the turbo whistle every time you hit the foot peddle. Before the work, the turbo could not be heard and the truck had little power. Even the transmission is shifting better. I can't believe the difference the work made.
