Fuel leak

I seem to have a fuel leak. It is comming from the tube that drops down from the fuel filter bowl. Thought it might be a cloged filter causing a pressure build up so I changed the filter and it still leaks. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.

Here comes the new ULSD Fuel!

CC'sDad,

Is likely related to the new ULSD Fuel. Many people are now noticing this same problem. The new fuel is causing the O-Rings in the Drain Valve to leak. Many have suggested replacing them with Nitrile O-Rings.

Here's the most recent posting for this problem:

Someone should keep track of how many people are having this problem. I bet it might beat the typical Glow Plug Relay problem that is seen this time of year.
