small small fuel leak

so i have this fuel leak on the side of my fuel canister and it looks like it's leaking from some sort of sensor... it's got this cap with wires coming off of it that is really loose and actually pops off while driving.. for now it's just zippy-tied on but i want to fix it permanently

don't know. Powerstrokeshop.com doesn't list one either. I would guess not much. You could also plug it with a pipe plug by removing the sensor and putting the plug in there. I think its 1/8 inch pipe thread.

Got mine at IH and I think it was about $15. I believe FORD wanted close to $40.

I would do what TJ said and no more leaks there. the plug no to tight because de FPR is very fragile.

Anyone know the part number for the Back Pressure sensor listed here, and about how much it would be?

here is the page that I get most of the part numbers from. Save it. copy and paste it to a WORD document as well. That way you always have it! I might even print it and stick it in my truck with some other handy info.
