fuel leak
I have a leaking fuel pressure sensor? the one that is on the filter housing. Is there any other place to get these things beside the ford house? I checked ebay but no luck, however i might be calling it the wrong name.

I also would check with International. If it has a o-ring on it you just might be able to get the o-ring and fix it that way. I'm sure some body will pop on here and get you a part # for it soon. Good luck!

no o-ring. looks like an oil pressure sending unit but i bet the spring is set at a lower psi. I could not believe that the aftermarket parts guys don't have this thing but they don't. But i feel a lot better about my truck now. I thought i had a bad oil leak at the pan but turns out it was mainly fuel, so i don't have to pull it just yet.

could be. but mine was dripping straight down from the drivers side of the filter assembly . i had to use a little flashlight and basically lay on top of the thing with it running to find the drip. mine was leaking through the switch and was dripping from were the wire plugs into it at. so it is possible that depending on the routing of the wire it could follow that and then drip off somewhere else i guess.

FordPower, anyone can do it, besides what could go wrong? Right. It just takes patients. Try this link it should help https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...ight=fuel+pump. I have done other repairs to my truck from this site and all has been good. I have to do the fp myself, I just haven't had time. This coming weekend is when I plan on doing it.
