Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Need Help With Fuel Leak

[mymtnhauler]

Need help with a fuel leak on an 02 24v. The leak is coming from the water drain hose at the bottom of the filter assembly. I checked the cap and all the lines going in and out of the filter assembly, nothing just the hose making the axel all wet with fuel. :{ Thanks in advance for any help!

Mine was leaking there a while back in fact it got so bad I could not close the drain after opening it. My local Cummins shop had the water drain valves for around $12 if I remember correctly. The dealership was just a few dollars more if you need to go there.

Sometimes mine won't close at all after draining. I've simply removed it, lubed it & put it back closed. No leaks after that so far.

Thanks guys! Darkhorse how did you remove it, did you have to remove the hole filter assembly?

No I just unscrewed the black plastic drain valve assembly from the filter canister. It's a little tricky to get at but my stubby screw driver helped.
