Fixing the Fuel leak in the OBS 7.3 Powerstroke

Fuel Filter O-Ring Kit
amzn.to/3Pym4Q8
I'm going to figure out where Petunia the Powerstroke is leaking fuel from. After closer inspection, I found that there was a lot of diesel fuel in the valley of the motor. Turns out the fuel was leaking out of the fuel filter drain valve.

Im hopin this is my issue i have a converted campulance and gettin fuel drip at the rear and strong smell of raw fuel inside leaves ya cloths smellin nice to lol... Cool content brather..

[@EverythingElliott]

Dripping off the rear of the block and not in the valley? There is a fuel line that goes into the back of each head, they rely on a little rubber gasket to seal. That is likely your problem. In a truck they can be a little hard to get to, but if your ambulance has a dog house, you might be able to get to them super easy.

[@mxriderwd]

Thanks for the vid, gotta remove my fuel bowl as well

[@EverythingElliott]

Good luck with your project!

[@errthangelliot9695]

Yo my man! Keep em coming! I had to do something similar on my 88 delta olds….what a pain!

[@The420klubdrdiode]

4:37 ROFLMAO! i swear there are some old retired ford engineers getting together laughing their asses off about now!

[@The420klubdrdiode]

the same ones that decided to mess with your transmission shifting every time your third brake light goes out! lol

[@EverythingElliott]

They sure did get the last laugh, didn’t they…

[@stevenbrann4672]

If it moved. Don’t remove tighten it up. That’s your leak

[@EverythingElliott]

Solved all my problems with a Marty’s e-fuel kit!

[@alfhwuqd]

In the process of replacing the drain valve. Ive left the fuel bowl on since I'm at the parts store and don't want to have to buy more tools than i have to. Got it off painfully, hopefully i can get it back on. Edit: got the new one on, just takes a flathead, 5/16 wrench, t20 stubby on a long handle quarter inch ratchet and long needle nose pliers. And frustration.

[@EverythingElliott]

You’re a brave man for doing that in the parking lot!

[@alfhwuqd]

@@EverythingElliott with how much it was leaking, it was either fix it or tow it, and I figured I might as well give it a go if it's gonna need towed. Was leaking so much I started smoking from it hitting the exhaust, and didn't want it to do anything bad on the 30 minute drive home.

[@josephrogers5711]

Would O rings from an assortment kit work?

[@EverythingElliott]

Yes they would, just match them up. Nothing special about the replacement ones I purchased

[@susmyster5411]

@@EverythingElliott did it fix the leak?

[@EverythingElliott]

Yes it did

I’m here for the comments

[@EverythingElliott]

Thanks for watching Dan! When are we going to get the LS swap cutlass progress on video?

[@michaelbenoit248]

W that fuel pump just delete it, & run an electric fuel pump. For me I’d say to just delete the fuel bowl to a spin on filter that mounts on the fender.
