I just wanted to post this up, i did the repair and it still did not fix my problem. I am goign to bite the bullet and go to the stealership and get a new valve. 60 bucks versus all the lost fuel. Any one know if thier local dealer had these in stock?

On a side note to any one having this problem, dont try to cap off the end of the drain tube

I replaced mine over the weekend and it sems to have fixed the leak. What a real PITA to get there with all the fuel regulator, wires, lines, etc. right there! Tore up the knuckles and after a few choice words all was well!

hey guys, i was having the same problem, installed the orings, it slowed down the leak by a lot but it is still leaking slowly, do you all think its the valve or is there something else i should check.
thanks
