Update: I couldn't find a suitable replacement for the shroeder valve or the rubber washer for the water drain. I gave up and bought the WIX filter with the built-in water drain. Another 40 bones but I am keeping the other filter for when I find the appropriate seals. Another issue that cropped up IS my fuel heater. I shouldn't have fiddled with it because now I have a leak there as well. I tried to remove the electrical lead but stopped because I was concerned about damaging it. I tried to persuade it with a screw driver and all. Now the SOB is leaking. I have fuel on top of the filter head. I expect I need a new O-ring there. What is the secret to removing the electrical connector?

 

Eaton I did the same thing I monkey ****ed my conneter same as you and yes there is a o ring there there is 2 of the same size O-ring invloved in the fuel tower housing

 

As far as the size of O-rings I belive you can use the O-Rings that you use one the injector return caps with no issues just make sure you lube them

 

Well, I didn't break the heater connector off, I stopped prying at it when I thought it might break. I think I PO'ed the seal on the heater connecter, though. I am thinking of doing a bunch of things at once to the truck. I bought 8 Beru glow plugs for just under $100, I am looking at a new IP and matched injectors and I am thinking about replacing the rocker cover gaskets as they are leaking fairly good. I also want a coolant filter inline with the heater hose. I really loathe draining the dang coolant again now that I just replaced it but I do have a heater hose that came in contact with fuel or something and has a swell. The hose should have been replaced when I did the job initially.

 

Ok I see that yours is like my husbands I will see if I can explain what I need of on top of the fuel filter is a black cap with a wire what is that called and where can I get one I tried the ford and they did not know what I was talking about they keep on ordering the wrong part


thx kristine

 

You know the part you are holding in your hand where can you get that I went to the ford dealership and they keep giving me the wrong part do you know what its called or a part #

 

i am having the exact same problem with my 93. wix filter in October, fuel only at the bottom of the plastic cover of the filter. Going to look with a mirror tonight. Nobody ever posted what size the washers were.
