Fuel Filter Check Valve Tower
Where can I buy a new fuel filter check valve tower and all the related parts , especially the spring ??
I am rebuilding my fuel bowl and when I got to taking apart the check valve tower in the fuel bowl , I LOST THE DARN SPRING and can't find it .
Now I gotta find a new one where ??
Thank-you for your replies .

Well the good part is the spring and check valve are not needed. The idea behind the design is to eliminate the chance that you can run the truck without a fuel filter. The spring closes the check valve when no filter is installed and when you install a filter it compresses and opens up. You could probably just get a spring locally and make it work.

I have been running without the spring for about a year now. Don't need it.
That spring mechanically closes off the fuel supply when the wrong (or no) filter is installed. The correct filter has a push pin in the center to push the spring cap down. Some filters have too short of a pin or no pin to let fuel in the bowl, and won't work with the engine.

Thank-you all for your replies !
I put the truck back together with a spring that I found in a buch of spare parts . Not the exact spring but one that was close to it . I had to guesstimate the length that I had to cut the spring . I must have made close to the right length because the truck started up with no leaking and I was able to take it for a drive with no issues .
Thanks again !!
