I just found that the fuel bowl/houseing where the filter is located is pouring the fuel out the drivers side. I cant seem to get the houseing off to see what the problem is. Does anyone know what it is and how i can fix it? Thanks in advance. It is leaking beelow the fpr.

 

could be where the fpr mates up to the housing, wif sensor or fuel heater, or a crack/ hole in housing....pics please. best way to tell is to start it and watch.. be carefull of fan.

 

below the fpr there are two connecters. It is pouring out from around them. Is there a gasket or o ring there?

 

orings!!!!!!!!

 

are they something i can pick up at advance parts sore or is it a ford item and how do i get to them to change them?

 

brb wait one please.

(Ford) F4TZ-9C064-A O-Ring Water in Fuel Probe
(Ford) F4TZ-9C065-A O-Ring Heater Connector

you can maybe try a viton pack of orings. if the right size is in there who knows.

 

where can i get the viton o ring set? How can i get to the orings to change them. I have tried to take the fuel bowl off and can seem to get it off.

 

i wouldnt try it with a viton set myself. i tried it for where the fpr meets the fuel bowl oring and it leaked due to wrong size or cheap..who knows.
and a fpr oring set was 55 bucks

so i went to ford and bought an ac oring actually 5 of them and it works great...why not go to ford for the orinngs. they might be cheap...i will look on powerstrokeshop.com in a minute...

and i will brb let me try to find the excellent fuel bowl removal article.

from good ole baz:


FuelfilterHousingRemoval94-97

To gain access to the HP oil pump, replace Injection Pressure Regulator valve or lift pump, or to service the filter housing, sometimes it's easiest to get the housing off of the engine. Removal is not that difficult except for the hoses. Remove the intake Y-pipe and plug the openings into the heads. Open the water separator drain to minimize the amount of fuel dumping into the engine valley. Loosen the hose clamps on the return line at the pressure regulator block, the primary (upper) lift pump hose at the filter housing, and the secondary (lower) lift pump hose at the lift pump. Remove the two head return lines at the pressure regulator block. Disconnect the harness connector at the RH side of the filter housing. Remove the two mounting bolts at the rear of the housing base. Lift up on the LH side of the housing to disengage the return line; pivot the housing forward to disengage the primary pump hose; pivot the housing back to disengage the secondary hose; and turn the housing clockwise to disengage the drain hose. Disconnect the IPR valve wire and remove the housing from the vehicle. Any o-rings or sensors on the housing can be serviced, and removal of the pressure regulator block for service/cleaning can now be done(the regulator can be removed with the housing installed on the vehicle, but with risk of o-ring damage on reassembly). Reverse the procedure for installation, taking care not to damage the hoses when their nipples are inserted in each. Do not over tighten the hose clamps or they will strip.

 

I just found that on the top of the top rubber connector, there is a hole in it. What is this cap and how should i fix it temperaraly till i can get it fixed perminantly

 

wow son!!!!!!!!!!

what exactly are you talking about.. got pics???( they are pirceless on these diesel forums and worth 10,000,000 words)

not trying to make fun but that one takes the cake for all time best description.. i know it hard to type what you mean on here to get your point across i struggle all the time myself.

 

dont have a digital camera so here goes the next best thing. if you are looking at the fuel filter bowl from standing in front of the truck, on the right hand sidde is the fpr. just below it on the fuel bowl/filter houseing there are two red wires with rubber connecter boot/covers. the top one/closest to the fpr has a hole in it. not sure what it is so there for not sure on how to fix it. If the is not clear for you let me know and i will try it again.

 

the rubber has a hole in it or the cheap fuel filter housing pot metal?

ok if the rubber those seem to just be the rubber cover for the connection. unplug it and see whats what... i am sure you will see you are at your original guess after this that it needs a new oring.

 

the rubber cap has the hole.

 

check the post right above this

 

it appears to be as if the pre mentioned cap has a electrical connection in it that has gotton hot. this maybe a water in fuel sensor or something like that. It has gotton so hot it melted a hole in the top of the connector so when i started it up, there was fuel flowing out of the connector. That is what it appears to me to have happened. would like to hear from others to see if this sounds reasonable or have had the same thing to happen to them. thanks
