Fixing the fuel leak

[direwulf23]

Oh, I could be wrong. Let's see, it's the sensor just above the bottom fuel line.

It didn't seem like it was when I was checking it on the truck but the O rings on the drain value definitely looked bad. All of the O rings were factory green.

Yes, that's the restriction sensor.
Can't remember the size, but most (me included) just replace it with a pipe plug.

If there's any further issues with it I will. I thought it was the water in fuel sensor. I understand there's no issue with the restriction sensor as long as you maintain proper fuel filter maintenence

 

[79jasper]

Yep. It'll keep leaking. Lol
And it's a expensive little sensor, which is why most plug it. I believe it's the exact same as the idi one also.
Water in fuel is actually the lower one in the left side of the pic.

Okay, a couple of potential problem questions.
Found these two in the valley between the FP and FB underneath the bottom fuel line (what is that line called? ). Looks like an electrical connector "boot" and a small screen. Where did these come from?

Also, this vacuum (?) coming off the value cover port on the passenger side for the "y" pipe is broken just behind the clamp. What is this line and what problems come from this?

Connects here in the firewall.

Other than that I'm ready to put things back together

Now to just get that little bitty banjo bolt back in. No big, just the longest mile.

 

[direwulf23]

Whelp, here we go. What will the verdict be... dun dun dun

 

[direwulf23]

I've two words to sum up:
F**k Yeah

 

[79jasper]

So it runs?
Screen looks like the FPR screen.
Boot could be from anywhere. Lol
The hose is actually a boost hose running to the MAP sensor.

I cut off the break and still had enough length, so that was easy

Everything is ready to go back in. Replaced fuel lines, fuel bowl o rings, new fuel pump, and new banjo bolt gaskets.

good thing you got banjo gskts....trying more than once,,when in a hurry,,didnt work to reuse.................................

I wanted to make sure I had everything before I tore it down, and I took my time. The whole weekend really

Yup it runs and zero fuel in the valley.
I think I may have some sort of exhaust leak that seals up after the engine is warm, though.
I was thinking the screen was from the FPR and maybe the boot as well because when I did the rebuild I didn't find them. Lol. However, the instructions were using a later fuel bowl so I didn't really know how much was right or wrong.

I see fun with up pipe gaskets in your future
