7.3 Fuel Leak on top of engine
Throwing this out there to see if I can get some help. Leaking fuel on the top of the engine and I have narrowed it down to the fuel cap. Questions are these?
1. Do I have to replace the cap or will the O-rings do?
2. Where do I get the O-rings?
3. Should the fuel heater be replaced also?
Look forward to the replies.

i've recently had these issues. heres what i had wrong.
Fuel bowl/heater/water fuel seperator had a pinhole in it, pitted from inside-out.
Drain valve on water fuel seperator was leaking from bad o-rings, ford sells the whole valve for 47$ rather than buying the o-ring kit for 35$.
O-rings on fuel line fittings leaking, replaced the fittings themselves because they have screens and check valves which can clogg, so i figured why not while im at it.
All good answers from everyone, im sure someone covered it here. just gotta clean everything up and look around

i agree with ocean diesel i had same problems all i did was pull fuel canister off and looked for cracks or holes cleaned it out and the water seperator put new o rings and gaskets now im leak free! while u got it off might as well replace all the rubber lines they could be cracked like mine were
