Is it possible to just replace the Parker fuel sleeve that is on the metal line that connects to the drain valve? Could this be a source of the leak or is it the drain valve itself? Can someone please tell me how this all works?

 

What year?

 

2002 ford excursion 7.3 idi

 

That would be a power stroke, not an idi.

 

My bad I have a power stroke and an
Idi the idi is in my other truck

 

<p>i will move this to the proper forum for you.</p>

 

Are you sure it is coming from the fuel bowl?

If it is which is common it could be the fuel bowl drain valve. (Yellow valve on the back)

Another potential spot for a leak is the pass side fuel line from the bowl to the rear of the head. That fuel line tends to crack in the middle just under the "Y" pipe where it clamps the plenum.

 

If it is the drain line, there is no Vibralok sleeve on it anywhere.

 

i second scott ,and if it is the drain get the whole kit from diesel o rings and do them all at once

 

There are two typical fuel leak sources in the valley: One is the passenger-side fuel line under a clamp, held by an intake plenum bolt. The other is the fuel bowl drain seal. When that drain seal goes, the rest of the seals in the fuel bowl are in just as bad shape - so everything needs a rebuild. Diesel O-rings and Riffraff Diesel have the toys.

 

I bought these to start working on mine as well. I am hoping I got the right ones. I also have to remove the HPOP for a leak on the Non serviceable plug.
