This factory Fire wall mounted leak prone fuel/water separator has been beat to death.
I came across this old thread by Mel (Conastoga Diesel) on rebuilding it.
It`s an old thread and the pictures are gone, but good info, for you that want your truck all original with matching numbers etc...

I had seen that the other day and plan to give it a try on mine. But I will also have a Racor ready to replace it if the rebuild doesn't go well.
