Fuel Filter Leak????

[Paul Holbrook]

Got a 92 with 140K and the fuel filter housing is leaking,I think; (fuel running down side of the block). Anyone had similar problem??/Could it be another source???Thanx!!!

Make sure the old gasket didn't stick to the housing when the old filter was removed.

That housing is pretty stout - I would suspect a line leak or as paccol said double gasket on the filter itself. I would put on a new fuel filter and band wrench it about 1/2 turn after you get it hand tight. Clean the base plate and make sure the mounting stud is tight - it will not take much debree to create a leak. Good luck

Happy trails

had a fuel leak on my 92 check the gaskets and everything like the guys said and if that does not work check the fuel heater. I could not find the leak for a long time finaly ran the truc and watched it looked like the wires were dripping fuel but nothing was spraying out. I untaped the big wad of tape around the wires there were some good size soldered connections for the heater and fuel was actually dripping out of the wires. After about $ 50 for a new fuel heater everything was great. I remember some trouble with the parts manual and the discription it was hard to find I had to look for it the parts guy gave up. hope this helps

This may not apply to your year but on my 1990, I had to replace the gasket at the top of the fuel heater, solved the leak for me.

Hi guys,

My 93 fuel millage dropped of and it turned out to be a piece of trash in the fuel filter drain. The only time it leaked was when it was running.
