Fuel Leak
Alright guys I need help I'm pulling my hair out right now. I've got a 2004 F350 with the 6.0 and yesterday I did the blue spring upgrade kit with the regulator. Well I have a fuel line leaking on the upper filter housing where the back to fuel lines are located. I checked if it was loose and it was not. I can not find anything on the internet, google, here, or an auto parts store with the O-Rings for those two fuel lines. Does anyone have a part number or at least what the techinical name for the line o rings to look them up at a parts store?
Thanks in advance.

03-04 fuel lines
The 03-04 filter uses screw on fuel lines. Banjo fittings came out in 05.
Ford it seems thought thoes o-rings would never need changeing. I could not find any either. Finaly had to dig into my o-ring assortment and found some that would fit.
Only other option was new lines.
Sorry I had a picture but I can't get it to attach.

This is so frustrating, it's not a terrible leak but your finger will get wet if you put your finger on it at idle, which it's most likely worse under load. My biggest fear is it causing a lean condition and making a big old kaboom! I'm trying to rush to get this fixed before this coming weekend because I'm taking a 16 hour round trip to get a new race car.

I'm sure they would have something, just let them know its for a diesel fuel line.

Buna-n or Vitron O-ring.
EDIT :
Here is a selection guide.
O-Ring Material Selection Guidelines, Information
The rubber ones will tend to swell.
Also when I got my kit from IH the O-rings
for the ends were in it with the other parts.
You did not remove the thread in adaptors
from the housing.

When I got the blue spring kit it just came with the nessasary O-rings for just the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel return line. It did not come with extras for the other two lines.
