I imagine that you guys down here in the basement are having troubles with fuel leaks like the superduty crowd is. I just posted some photos that may help out with this.

Here's some pix of a 94-97 van filter drain valve.

Or you can go to my album that has more pix (hit the max of 5 inserted in a post) and some notes about disassembling the valve.

No, in fact, you can't even buy the o-rings separate from Ford AFAIK. They just sell the whole valve.

Any place that sells o-rings can fix you up. Viton is the preferred material, but Buna-N has been working for me for quite a while (over 1-1/2 yrs). For Viton o-rings, try www.mcmaster.com or www.oringsusa.com

Yes,viton material is excellent,for some application Buna-N is enough.
