Default fuel leak

Ive got a 99 24v. Noticed a fuel leak coming from the top of the canister. It seems to be coming from around the rubber seal for the fuel heater wires to go into the filter housing. Is there a way to fix this quickly and easily? ?

Sorry - I confused this with a 12V.

You could go with an aftermarket fuel filter moved to the frame rail and bypass the OEM filter housing. Does your FASS pump not have filters?

Id think a Racor filter/seperator or a filter head and filter(s). Check out the links on my post here:
