No on will answer!

I have called all the local dealers to ask them one question. is the supposed to be air leaking in or out of the Upper fule filter housing cap. When I cycle the injectors KOEO from the drive hole in the cap(square drive hole for driver) there is a hissing noise from that hole. Is this a problem. I believe it is but can get NO confirmation from Ford. This Bites, everyone is afraid to say anything. Anyone know the answer?

no "leaks" should be present anywhere in the pressurized side of the fuel system..

There would be more than hissing if there was a leak in the cap. You'd have a lot of fuel coming out as well.

well I have DEFINATELY found there is a leak in the cap. I used an old school method but it is real and in the center of the cap. Any Idea where I could get a repalcement from someone for less than 56 bucks?

Not for less than $56.00 in fact more, but I have seen on ebay those made on aluminum or stainless steel with the port for pressure gauge.


Good Luck

You may want to confirm the leak visually by spraying the suspect area with something.
