fuel filter drain valve leaking
Just finished changing my fuel filter as I've done many many times before and this time around, the little drain valve that I use to empty the filter housing won't close all the way. Still was able to prime the filter housing and get a restart but I have a steady stream of diesel fuel flowing from the valve. I moved it back and forth from open to close to several times to see if I get it to close completely with no luck. Has anyone else run into this problem and/or ever had to replace the drain valve?

If you're referring to my lift pump I actually run a mechanical (never below 17 psi). I my opinion, the mechanical is better than the electrical (less opportunity for failure) setup. I've retained my stock LP pretty much exclusively for the function of priming my fuel filter housing at filter changes. If I misinterpreted you, feel free to correct me.
