Fuel Filter/seperator drain o-ring replacement...my first write up
well,...mine started leaking last week....noticed the raw fuel smell and diesel on my front axle....
went to ford and they wanted close to $40 for a "kit"...so i searced around locally and found some 1/2"od x 1/4"id x 1/8" thick orings from a place called filter services in se portland....payed $.30 for both...
let it drain completely,...then your ready to pull it apart....heres what i used.....allen style torx bit.....this is a #20 torx.....this seemed alot easier than a bit in a 1/4" drive ratchet,...but use whatever works for you,...its very tight back there.....
now just put it back together and remove hose and discard of the fuel properly.....
before cranking it up right away,...get in and turn the key and wait for about 60 seconds for the fuel pump to fill the filter housing back up....
done!!

Re: seperator o-ring replacement...my first write up
yeah, I'm not sure if its age, cold, fuel, or a combination that is causing the o-ring failures. But I put it up there with the cps failure. Its not IF its gonna fail, but WHEN its gonna fail.

Re: seperator o-ring replacement...my first write up
some more info to add.....
For those that are interested, the "Ford Kit" is the following part numbers:
94-98 F5TZ-9A153-A
98.5-03 F81Z-9A153-AA
The O-rings themselves should be a standard #202 o-ring (on the 94-97 trucks, I dont know on the 99+ trucks). Make sure to get VITON, as some rubber O-rings do NOT get along with diesel or Bio-Diesel.

Re: seperator o-ring replacement...my first write up
I just odrered a bag of the correct o-rings for this application.The o-rings I ordered are made of Viton which has excellent chemical and oil resistance. Temperature range is -15° to +400° F. Durometer hardness is A75. Meets SAE J200.Other guys have used different kinds of rubber but I understand Viton is suppose to be the best for this application. O-ring size 1/2"OD X 1/4"ID X 1/8" thick.The drian valve at the dealer is about $38(includes o-rings), the o-ring kit (4 o-rings) is about $32. When I ordered the o-rings I have, they came in a large quantity.
I have more than I need if you would like to buy a couple of them P.M. me. ($5.00 a pair)
Re: seperator o-ring replacement...my first write up
Check out www.oringsusa.com, I have ordered O-rings there before and they have excellent service and pricing. The 202 Viton rings are 50 cents apiece, cheaper (17 cents) if you want large quantities. They ship regular mail quickly.

Re: seperator o-ring replacement...my first write up
I went to the oringsusa website and they have 3 different types of viton o rings. There is viton 75, 75brown and viton 90. Which one is appropriate for our application?

Thanks, I ordered from oringusa. They will ship us mail, so the cost will be under 5 bucks for orings and shipping. Thanks
[/ QUOTE ]
I was just going to order from them also, but when I went to check out they were going to charge me $10.00 for shipping for 6 small o-rings. How did you get o-rings and shipping for under $5.00 ????
Thanks Ed

Re: seperator o-ring replacement...my first write up
Yep, I called them. Just click the option that is for "collect" or something like that. Then in the comment box, write "please send us mail and you have my permission to charge my card the postage". They qouted me roughly $1.80 to cover shipping.
