HPOP Leak

Hello,


Do I have to remove my fuel filter and bowl to attempt a repair on my HPOP leak?

Thanks

It depends on where the leak is. I had an o-ring fail on the plug at the bottom of the HPOP and was able to complete the repair without fuel bowl removal.

Yeah it really depends where the leak is located. if it's the end plug on the back then no. If it's the non serviceable plug or the C clamp then yes.

I removed and rebuilt hpop without removing fuel bowl. Although would have been easier with it out. There are videos from diesel Tech Ron on you tube.

I had the same thing......unfortunately I was not wise to the repair at the time and the dealer charged me 900 bucks for the O-ring fix on the HPOP.

Exactly! I have done it both ways. Removing it is easier. Takes about 10-15 mins. If you remove it, just make sure you have the sleeves for the fuel lines on hand. Sometimes the old ones leak if reused. It would be a great time to rebuild it. Sleeves are included in the kit below.
