Well that's good news! That was the first time I've ever changed a fuel filter so I didn't expect to see stuff like that in there. Now I have another concern. I got the new filter on and got the truck started pretty easily. Checked the filter for leaks and there are none. However, it looks like there is fuel leaking from around the top of the front injectors on each side of the engine but just those two! I never noticed it doing that before I changed the filter. I guess it's fuel, don't know what else it could be. What could be causing this?

Looks like you disturbed the return lines. Like Coalroller said, there are two ORings under the plastic caps that get hard and need to be replaced. The size is 111. Just make sure they are viton to resist the new fuels.

It's a 1993 IDI non turbo. It only has around 90K miles, not sure exactly cause the original odometer stopped working. It sat without even being started from 2007-2009 and has been driven very, very little since then. I seriously doubt that the injectors have ever been replaced. It looks like it's coming out down where the o-rings would be, I don't think it's pushing out from the return lines.

thats a dang good kit right there.
good grade fuel line with it.
i went through two of those cheaper kits from Pensacola diesel,and always had leaks.non so far with this one.
sure is nice not to be chasing fuel leaks all the time anymore.
(i did use Viton O-rings instead again though.)
