Fuel leak
So far I have changed every O ring on my fuel housing and just installed a new drain valve. It is still leaking fuel at the drain valve. Any ideas? I am starting to think I need a whole new housing.

I think Diesel Orings has a reseal kit for the OE one. The orings dry out and crack.
I've had mixed results with dorman, some have leaked out of the box on me so I stopped using them.

I’m almost wondering if the housing doesn’t have a small crack is this something that ever happens the truck has over 500k miles

I haven't seen a crack at that location, but if its a thing, someone else on here has seen it.

All I can say is remove the filter housing and give it a good examination. With a magnifying glass if need be. Don't remember exactly how it is constructed, but how about where the fuel bowl heater circuit goes through the wall?
