I've had my 95 F250 PSD for just about 2 years, the end January will be two years. When I first stole it, err...bought it, the truck was dumping a lot of fuel in the valley. I replaced the fuel pump (which I believe was the actual culprit), banjo bolt crush washers, fuel lines between the fuel bowl/ pump, and o rings in the fuel bowl and fuel filter. Problem fixed and dry valley.
Now, just about 2 years and almost (not quite) 20k miles later I have a valley full of fuel again.
Last week I changed my fuel filter ( jour the first time since) hoping that the fuel filter o ring went bad and/or it was clogging up causing the fuel in the valley. Nope.
So, do you think it's actually likely the fuel pump has gone bad (bought at NAPA) in two years/ 20k miles? Or would you suspect a different culprit? Banjo bolt crush washers (autozone)? O rings in fuel bowl (diesel o rings)?
I'm not currently sure where to start and I haven't yet. I'm actually pretty disappointed to have this problem again, because my idea was to shotgun method everything in there to make sure I wouldn't have to worry about it again for years (more than 2). Surely a fuel pump would last longer than 20k miles/ 2 years. Surely, also, if there was a flaw in my work it would have shown up before now. Of course it's recently gotten cold and the cold always stresses the weakest parts. I'm always having to work on my truck in the winter.
Sorry for the novel, and thanks for any help.
