PART 1 - 1999 to 2003 ford 7.3L diesel fuel leak interior smell, fuel filter bowl rebuild $save$

Driving my 7.3L diesel moving through the air everything was fine but I began to smell raw fuel smell when I came to a stop with the heat on. The heating system was drawing the fumes right inside.

I discovered a fuel leak. This leak was enough that I also had a drop in mileage. Inspecting for the leak I discovered a puddle of fuel down in the engine valley. It was coming from the bottom of the fuel filter bowl, the water drain valve. It is a tight space so instead of taking half the engine apart I decided to just pull out the fuel filter bowl to rebuild it instead.

It's cheaper to but an entire O-ring kit than it is to buy a new aftermarket water drain valve. The age of the O-rings are the main factor on why it leaked, the O- rings are hard and brittle. The change in the weather, a cold snap they began to leak.

In this video, I'm showing how to remove, repair and rebuild the fuel filter bowl saving big money. This is an easy job that if you take your time should only take a few hours. I hope this helps get back on the road.
