Help!!!

I was just working on replacing all the orings on the fuel bowl and just broke a small piece out of the bleeder orifice. Where can I get one??
I also need a heater element? How necessary is this?? Can it be re attached?

Replacement O-rings for Ford Diesel Engines

I bought mine from the dealer...think a lot of guys might not use them much, guess it depends on your weather and fuel blending. But others with more knowledge will chime in soon...

Don't worry about the fuel heater. I haven't had one hooked up in the 6 years I have owned a PSD up here in Michigan. Its not needed. BUT on the orifice I think about the only way you are going to get that is from Ford but they may tell you the only way its available is with a whole new fuel bowl but try these numbers with them
Fuel Pressure Regulator Screen Kit (Orifice Vent Kit) Includes screened plug, o-ring, check valve
(Ford) F6TZ-9150-AA Screen and o-ring kit
(Ford) F5TZ-9A214-A ??? KIT-VENT ASY -DUAL

If you decide to run with the broken heater element make sure you unplug it from the side of the housing. The engine doesn't like it when it shorts out...
