so ive got a fuel leak above the fuel filter ...filter is off, ive got an o-ring that goes somewhere up there but no idea as how to get to it or if thats the problem at all or if theres somewhere else i could be looking. any help would be great. thanks fellas

 

There is a fuel heater above the filter with an o-ring between it and the casting. A lot of guys have had a problem with that leekng after a filter change,Rocky

 

the threaded piece the filter screws on to has a slot on it, use something to unscrew it to take the heater off.

 

I have been fighting the same leak since i changed my fuel filter. Cant get it to stop.

 

You guys haven't double-gasketed have you? Meaning when you take the old filter off, the O-ring stays in place so when you put the new one on there's two O-rings. It's super easy to do.

 

Nope, didn't double gasket it. When i changed the filter, I had the damn thing off probably 20 times trying to figure out why it was leaking so bad.

 

Be aware: that O-ring is actually a Square-Cut O-ring. (That O-ring that goes between the top of the fuel heater and the engine head).

 

Oh. So much for the easy fix.

 

Marty z thanks for the info that's what I needed... Had to fab a
New tool to get enough torque on that thing to brake it loose. But it finally came and the o ring got replaced lick a'dee split... No more drip drip
