2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Leaking Fuel when engine hot after running??????

[Onesmallsoldier]

02 Dodge Ram... 44,600 miles... Fuel leak appears to be somewhere under the fuel filter or around the area, cannot tell where it comes from, had the problem about a month ago, changed the fuel filter, degreased the area, washed it off, NO fuel leak. Now it is leaking again in same area, cannot tell where it is coming from,... ..... Where and what do I look for???? I have noticed it only happens after I drive the truck and the engine is warm.



When I change the fuel filter, I don't torque the top plastic cover of the fuel filter. I just snug it up,because I do not have a torque wrench, could it just be a O ring leak for the filter cover????? HELP what can I do... ..... :{



Fuel to expensive to be letting it drip on the ground! :--)

I would check to see if there is something caught under the water drain valve on the filter assy.

Make sure the water drain valve is completely closed. Is not unusual for it to stick slightly open and spew fuel when under pressure. You should see it though at all times there is pressure(engine running) not just when it is warm, however so this may not be it. Hope this helps.

If you can't figure it out - you are still under the 5 year 100k warranty - yes?
