When I went to start the truck to leave, it would not start as it always
has. I had to crank the engine for a long time before it would start. You know like about 30 seconds or so (didn't start right away like it has always since new). Now that I am home and the truck is sitting on the concrete driveway, I see fuel dripping out of the lower filter housing.
Would this be an improper installed filter/gasket?? I live an hour from dealer and the shop is closed already. Any suggestions appreciated?? Thanks!
well I think your right on
pinched oring or incorrectly instaled filter
sounds like the fuel leaked out of the system causing your looong crank
probably a pinched oring or crossthreaded HFCM cap
also check the water separater drain on the HFCM make shure its not leaking from there
good call DC dont damage the injectors if its leaking your fuel pressure is down
