I started my truck yesterday morning, temperature dropped to 9 degrees, to find I forgot to put fuel additive in the tank. Engine wouldn't pull or go over 1700RPM. New filter and fuel additive fixed both.

My fuel filter valve and the drain are/were both leaking fuel, I temporarily put a hose with a bolt in one end on the drain and disassembled the valve handle to stop the leak.

Are they repairable or do I have to buy the bleed valve assembly?

 

I just got through fixing one about a week ago. we took the filter housing off and removed the drain, you need to replace three o rings. two are on the housing to drain and one on the lever arm. my sae o rings did not fit, they are metric. I did not look at the size but you need to get a kit anyway. took about 5 minutes to fix and 10 minutes to air test to 25 psi

Thanks for the tips, on the kit,
I see 2 small "O" rings and a large one,whats the large one for?

Glad to see I am not alone with a leaky pump.

 

the large one is to replace the filter o ring, when you take the filter cap off the cap tends to stretch the old one.

 

Thanks for the help all, I contacted Geno's and got the parts quickly.

Now I have to replace the brake pads on all 4 wheels
