Jose, Rog,
I think I found the problem though I don't have the whole assembly out yet. When I opened the water seperator drain valve the fuel did not flow out by the front of the engine. Instead it flowed out the valley at the back of the engine. It always flowed out the front before and splashed on my boots. I think when I lifted the fuel bowl to get the pump hoses on that we might have broken the drain valve and hose.

That is where I am stuck right now - how to get the drain tube or hose disconnected. I'll keep you posted on progress. I am making notes and taking pictures as I go.
