Fix your fuel leak from filter drain valve

[boozer88]

I have a 1997 7.3 powerstroke that is still leaking. I replaced the lift pump that was leaking. Now I found a leak that is leaking from the sensor (??) that gauges if there is water in the fuel, on the fuel cannister. Can I just fix that or just replace the whole cannister??? Thx!!

You will get more and faster help if you post down in the regular forums. As far as the leak yes you can replace the sensor or if you would like just remove it and put a pipe plug in its place. If you plug it off just remember to drain the housing every now and then to keep water out of the injectors.

Can the drain valve pull air, but not leak any fuel??? Truck starts then dies by loosing fuel pressure.

Is this the leak off of the back of the engine coming off the bellhousing/starter area?

Thanks... only happens when cold

Mine just started leaking the other day in the same area, just looked at valley and don't see any puddling ..... is it still the bowl drain "O" rings??

Guys, don't forget about the fuel pump... it has a weep hole in the side of it and when it is bad, it can also leak!!!
