leak on top of my fuel filter - Diesel Forum

machler · 09-23-2006, 03:08 PM

I have a leak on the top of the bracket that the fuel filter screws into on my 92 f350. The leak is coming from the wires that plug on the top of the bracket. I cant seem to get the wire to unplug from the bracket. Any help

You should be able to pry the plug off with a screwdriver. Then you need to determine whether it is leaking from the center (around the male spade) or around the outside of the insulator. If it is leaking around the outside, you can replace the o-ring. If it is leaking around the spade, you can clean and dry the area and seal it with some epoxy. It is the connection for the heater. Once you seal it with epoxy, you can't use it anymore. You really don't need it, so the choice is yours. Tim

Actually if you take the fuel heater apart there are 2 orings an outer as stated and an inner around the spade.......

Look at the pics in my gallery and you can see how to get that plug out.

Hope this link works.

I got the new O ring at NAPA for less that a buck.
