help
I am tring to get the fuel/water separator out to change the o ring at the fuel heater. I have read the artical form steve baz and still am missing something. I am fairly new at doing my own wrench turning and new to diesels so some of the things he was talking about i didnt know what they were. I have taken the fpr loose and 1 hose loose from the rear of the fuel/water separator anf 1 loose from the left hand side looking in from the front. It still feels like it is attached to something. i just dont want to break something in the name of fixing something else. The truck is a 97 psd if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

yes that is the one. It looks like a watch battery. It has melted the seal around it and was pooring fuel onto the engine. So this is the fuel heater? I cant find it at the local parts houses so i am going to have to wait till monday and check at the ford dealer and the international dealer and comapre price. Any one know what price range i am looking at for the fuel heater? On a bright note, at least i have a spare oring incase the new goes out, lol.
