Fuel Pump Weep Hole
Does anyone have a picture of where the weep hole on the fuel pump is located? I'm trying to determine if I have a leaking pump, o-ring, or fuel line. Also, how many o-rings are in the filter housing and where is the best place to get them and the fuel line?

To determin where its coming from clean the vally really well until its completly dry then start the truck and watch the area around the pump, if its the weep hole it will start tun out from under the pump and back, if its from the filter bowl then it will come from in front of the pump and out from under the bowl.

The hole is on the passenger side at the bottom. Only about 1/16th". You will need a light and probably a mirror. If you need a pump, get a carter. Ford, NAPA or I guess International.

I put a new pump on my 97 psd and it seems to be a bad pump. It was a Carter from Napa. If you live in an area where there are Orielly auto parts stores Napa with price match the pump. Oreillys wanted $80 for a pump and Napa was $105. If you can I would have a shop bench test the pump before instilation. I know we have a local diesel shop that can bench test them. I was also told they can rebuild pumps and they are better than one you can buy, but I don't know this for sure.
