Still Leaking Fuel

Just removed the fuel filter housing and completely rebuilt everything. 1996 PowerStroke

Cranked up still have a

leakkkk. It looks as best as I can tell right now after throwing things and yellin at nothin(I'm sure we have all been there); under the "pump"?Brass looking thing under the turbo.

I tried to tighten the big nut on the back , no difference....

What could be leaking in that area????

If I take that nut off and check washer do I need to drain everything again ?

Need Help

I just went thru the same thing, ended up leaking out the weep hole on the fuel pump.

while I was there I replaced all the hoses from the pump to the filter housing and the washer's on the banjo fitting.

Sounds like the weep hole in the fuel pump is what's leaking to me. May be time for a new pump...

Yea I replaced all the hoses and tried to tighten the Banjo nut when I rebuilt the Filter Housing.
Good thing I work at a parts house as this is getting deep in the pocket.
Can I get the pump out without removing the filter housing(that I just put back in)?????

Is there a electric fuel pump option out there?

I know it's a pita, but It's a lot eazier to have the the housing out of the way.
Also make it eazier to use the filter housing to get the rubber fuel hoses back on, least it was for me.
