Fuel in the valley!?!
The valley of my 2000 7.3 has fuel in it, anyone had experience with this? I soaked it up and cleaned the area to see if I could see where the leak was coming from , but found nothing, and fuel now bam in the valley. I have replaced the o-rings in the fuel bowl drain last year when I found a small leak, but this is new.

The fuel leaks are typical in two areas...
1. the fuel bowl but you mentioned that you replaced the o-rings.
2. there is a hard line which I believe is on the passenger side that has a bracket that rubs through the line and creates a pin hole. This will also cause fuel in the valley.
? - did you rebuilt the entire fuel bowl or just the drain valve. If just the drain valve then you may need to get a full rebuild kit which will replace all the o-rings for the fuel bowl and the fuel lines.
