You can buy a kit at the Ford dealer to repair it. It's the yellow handle valve you'll see on the back of the fuel bowl that is leaking. I know some of the sponsors here sell repair kits too. I think Pure Diesel Power, and ITP each sell a kit to repair your stock valve. It contains a seal kit. Country

Yeah I edited in on my last post a link you can click on to see both options. Seal kit $17 bucks or valve and seal kit $55 bucks. Just click on this link below and it will show you the kits. No Problem. Hope this helps. Country

Hey, welcome to FTE chum. $17 sounds kinda stiff for orings, at least to me, so you may want to look around. Check ebay or 7point3.com.

Here is a link for step by step replacement of fuel drain valve O-rings.

http://home.centurytel.net/sabre/drainvalve.html

NOTE : Before you open drain valve slip some tubing over drain tube and route it to the drain pan. This will avoid a big mess.

I thought by now everyone would have experienced this problem. The ULSD is introduced and almost instantly everyone leaks. Fixed mine almost a year ago and have had no problems since. Fairly easy to do, although the stealership is a little pricey for the simple little part.
