Fuel Filter/seperator drain o-ring replacement...my first write up

[southmike]

most likely they are metric...most of my hpop and fuel bowl bolts were.
I droped one of my thermostat bolts when i added a 203 t-stat.. disapeared into no mans land..i just added another from the local store..ended up swaping all of them since the other two now had a different size head...

Thanks 4 all the o-ring help. I changed my 99 -- 7.3. easy job because of everyone.
i bought 100 viton o-rings to get a good price. if anyone needs them, i can send them for $2.00 each. send a self addressed stamped envlope and $2.00 each for as many as you need. again THANKS to everyone, hope i can payback favor.

Does Any One Know Which Way The Little Yellow Handle Face In The Off Position, (fuel Filter Drain Valve )on The 2000 F350 7.3 Litre? Mine Is Stopped Up And No Fuel Is Draining From Either Position. Thank You

I'm not sure on your 2000 but it should point to the passenger side to drain. If it doesn't even with the lid cracked open try it with the engine running.

joedirt,
Is there anyway to resend your fuel seperator directions with NEW photos? For some reason none of them will open on any of our computers. I know I need to do this on my truck, but would like to go at it with a little more confidence.
Thx,
Dusty in Cali.
