Hey guy's.Got a question,i have a 1988 diesel [7.3] and i need to know what you call the thing that the water seperator filter screws to.The top piece with the air valve bleeder,mines got a clear fuel line comin from it to,anyway and also the bottom piece that screws to the bottom of the filter.They are both leaking and im going to just get new ones instead of foolin around with them.Any help will be great.Thanks

Fuel filter header is the top part.

Is it leaking around the wire in the top?

O rings inside the header.

And the fuel filter base.

NAPA stocks filters with drains that eliminate the base.

NAPA 3617 has a water separator in it and a place to mount your WIF sensor..
