WHAT IS IT?
I have a 96 F-350 with diesel, on the driver side of the fuel filter can there is a sending unit that is leaking fuel. I have no idea what this is, can someone tell me what it is? So I can get the part to replace it.
thanks Ron

If it's this one it is called the "fuel filter vacuum switch", or something like that. It senses a vacuum in the filter when the filter becomes plugged up. They are a known problem for leakage out by the electrical connection. I think Ford current cost is about $50 and you can get the same part for about $25 from International ...

So it sounds like it is not needed. I change my fuel filter pretty regular with this bio-diesel. I have owned this truck for 10 years and never seen any light come on about the fuel filter.
Thanks for the help RB
