Fuel filter green wire on top leaking?

[Snowdiver]

I see a steady drip coming out of the green wire "sensor" on top of the fuel filter. Does this unscrew or what?

Fuel filter heater connection. just has o'rings around it holding it in. Just push it out carefully after disassemble.

Thats just an o-ring leaking. Remove the filter. Then remove the filter threaded head from the aluminum filter housing. I think its a 1 inch wrench. Then use down from the electrical connecter from outside the housing and the heater will just pop out. The o-ring is usually an International only part and is cheap at around $2.50 each... But two and have a spare. Do a search here for the international part number.
