Fuel Filter Assy

Ok fuel is gushing out from under the FFA. Has anyone had this problem before, and if so how do you remove the FFA?

Thanks in advance

PM me with your email address and I will send you a loooooong MSWord document with everything I have on it. Oh - you do have access to MSWord, right? If not I will turn it into a text file.

I just went thru this two or three weeks ago. You can fix with J B Weld. Let it cure the 12-15 hours per directions before putting it back together. My truck is running fine now.

Definitely try to patch it first. A replacement bowl is in the "stupid expensive" catagory.

well, I was going to try that, but I started to chip my 1/8" hole and it was corroded and it turned into an 1/2" hole. Has anyone taken the black plastic tube from the bowl, I bought an crow's feet wrench but wasn't able to. Tomorrow I'll be looking for a replacement bowl. The stealership want $400 for it. Too rich for my taste. If anyone know where to get one for a reasonable price please let me know.

Thanks
