Hey guys, got the converter lock-up issue fixed and now I'm on to more funner types of things before the big road trip next week.

I need to know what size o-ring is on the fuel heater, I have a leak coming from the top of the filter housing and it goes right up the wire for the heater. This seem rather simple after the job I just did on the beast!

ps, yep, I searched and found how to do it along with pictures but I couldn't find a size.

Thanks

 

From a previous post.......
The width measured 3/32". The closest match I could find was an As 568 114 o-ring (dimensions: 5/8 inches ID x 13/16 inches OD x 3/32 inches width).

Once the filter adapter is removed........right hand thread.

The heater comes out as a whole but has two halves.

Remove the complete stainless and plastic parts by pushing down (in) on the neck part that protrudes from the filter header.

You will now see a shiny stainless half and a plastic half, you will be able take the two halves apart carefully. There is a stainless spade connector protruding through the plastic neck. This is the connector to the heater wire on the top side of the filter header. On the spade connector there is a (locking tab) small piece that is bent out to secure it in place. Squeeze this piece straight and push the spade down through the neck. The stainless spade body part should seperate from the plastic portion of the assy to reveal a second o-ring. This oring causes the seal from the spade body to the inside of the plastic neck.

Find suitable orings at a hydraulic shop to replace these 2 orings. Now reassemble all the parts, ensure the locking tab on the spade connector will work. Your problem should be fixed......

From another post.......first oring.
