diesel leak
 
in the past year i have replaced the valve that drains the water from the fuel filter three times, and every time i replace it it starts leaking after about a month. :bat: are others having this problem, or am i doing something wrong? and also my cruze light has quit working. i checked all the fuses and a few were blown, but when i replaced them it still doesn't work. i have not done anything about the recall on the cruze system,,, is that what it is or is it just the diode burnt out or something completly different? thanks lawson

that plastic valve isnt worth a dam... im thinking about trying to fabricate a brass valve :humm:, but i cant exactly remember what the hookup to the bowl looks like, and im afraid that if i take it off to look at it i wont be able to get it back on without causing a worse leak. i think its also leaking from the sensor plug right beside it. im guessing thats the water in fuel sensor.

Get a bowl delete system and ditch the stupid factory leak bowl!

Two napa filter heads... a 10 micron water/fuel filter and a 2 micron final filter...

Factory only filters down to 12 microns so...

dam... how much would that cost me... i looked on napas web sight but couldnt find the filters or the heads. do you happen to have the part numbers

Stick a mirror on the back side of the bowl and make sure you have all that yellow ptfe stuff removed or the new o-rings will keep leaking. If that's not it I'm stumped. Will ask around tho.

The cruise control recall is just a new pigtail that plugs into the existing wire on the backside of the master cylinder. Only takes them a couple minutes to fix it. It has nothing to do with the cruise light, could be just the led.
