Fuel Return line leak

Howdy all,

I am the proud owner of an '03 F-350 7.3L Lariat Crew Cab (Pic's comin soon).

My problem is that on the back of the fuel filter housing I have a small leak between the housing and the rubber return line. I have already eliminated the possibility of the hose leakin and do know it is at the housing.

Any Ideas on how to fix this problem or am I goin to the parts house for a new filter housing???

Thanks in advance for the help

AJ

Very common for the fuel bowl valve to leak. Fuel bowl rebuild is easy to do and can take care of all kinds of different fuel leaks. Just did mine, it was fun!
