    Thanx Trey, my 02 F250 SD 7.3 with 140,950 miles just started to drip a few days ago, glad I found your video. I have been doing all my own maintenance and these videos will help me even more. I just ordered my o-rings, so in a few days I will be re building my drain valve and checking for leaks. Thanx again

      Hey man, so just recently my truck has started starting really hard, or taking a long time for the engine to kick over. Batteries are new, alternator is new, wondering if the starter would cause this?

  • @andrewshay2475
    @andrewshay2475 12 лет назад

    They were a larger 2" O-Ring that possibly came off the bottom of the old aftermarket filter. Removed them and changed the filter out and the drain valve, no more leaks and it runs much better!!! Thanks for the help

    @alanaz4265 10 лет назад

    Did this repair today and this video and your other one showing the detailed fuel bowl rebuild were VERY helpful. One thing I would add is to make sure you remove the old fuel line sleeves as I found they like to hide inside the fitting (don't ask how I know) it may take some playing around with the line but they will show themselves. Do this while the fuel bowl is out, MUCH easier. My truck is an 02 Excursion and there were a few different sensors and things in the way but once you move them out of the way it really was'nt that bad at all. THANKS!!

    Trey, I have 2003 Excursion and F350 both with 7.3. Both smell like diesel but my Excursion is leaving a diesel trail. Watched your video about fuel bowl. I have fuel in the valley below bowl. Fuel is really heavy right over starter and transmission lines and trans cover. Is there a fuel line on passenger side at rear of engine that could be leaking. Also if it is from the bowl and filling up valley where does the fuel from the valley escape to?

  • @hh65flyer
    @hh65flyer 12 лет назад

    Unfortunately this just happened to me on fuel press relief:
    Due to the extreme weakness of the factory housing where the threaded compression fitting meets the housing body...broken the threads off of the factory housing. Usually when this happens it is necessary to cut off the flare end of the hard line in order to remove the broken piece and compression nut from the line. The hardline then needs to be re-flared but it is now shorter and may be difficult to connect back to a factory housing.

  • @ginadyingtoknow9451
    @ginadyingtoknow9451 10 лет назад

    Great video! I'm trying to find the source of a major fuel leak in my 01 F350 Turbo 7.3. A small fuel leak started about 3 wks ago Now it's spewing out of what looks like the glow plug relay area. Any ideas what this could be? It looks like the fuel is literally SPRAYING from the relay or under it and spraying towards the driver side. Does it sound like something obvious besides the fuel bowl or drain valve? Is it easy to remove the glow plug relay (or move it out of the way) to inspect further?

    • @ginadyingtoknow9451
      @ginadyingtoknow9451 10 лет назад

    • @ginadyingtoknow9451
      @ginadyingtoknow9451 10 лет назад

      Kind of a pain? It's a royal pain! I finally got the new fuel line in, though. It took me forever to get the fitting loose at the head. I have a new appreciation for mechanics. Now I understand why it costs so much to work on these trucks. I'm only 5'4" so I was sitting on top of anything I could under the hood just to reach everything. Anyway, now my check engine light is on. Could it be air in the system?

    • @ginadyingtoknow9451
      @ginadyingtoknow9451 10 лет назад

      Also the flat injector/glow plug connector on top of the valve cover kept coming loose. I'm pretty sure I made certain it was connected before putting everything back together though.

    • @ginadyingtoknow9451

    You don't have to order that gasoila, you can pick that up at any plumbing supply store. I'm sure Home Depot sells something you can use as well. Remember diesel fuel is the same as home heating oil, they just add a red dye to the home heating oil- see DOT for reasons why. just don't get caught w/it in your tank unless you are tax exempt

  • @gizzyguzzi
    @gizzyguzzi 3 года назад

    I think this is Remove and Replace. I didn't see any 'Repair'! Thanks for showing where everything is, but it's kind of a bugger. Not much room to work, but it went back together easier than I expected. No one tells you how to get the old packing sleeves out of the fittings on the fuel lines. I was finally able to get hold of them by sticking a pick in there and spinning the fittings backwards whilst holding the rubber sleeve with the pick, and backed them out. Kind of tricky. I put the electrical connector on first, and the drain hose. Then the lowest 3 fittings, then started the bolts and had to force the filter housing back to get a wrench on the bolt behind that sending unit, whilst holding the coolant hose out of the way, or else the bolt was too tight to the sending unit. Could have used an extra hand or two. Oh, and break the filter cap loose before you loosen it too, or else you'll have to put it back on and drive it loose with a big punch and hammer, like I did.

  • @tonyneil9660
    @tonyneil9660 6 лет назад

    thanks for video, but wish you had stressed how tough it is to get to these lines.
    btw, the bottom large line on driver side cannot start threading the nut due to new rubber washer pushing back.
    any tips on how to thread the nut back on when the washer is making it too hard to connect the threads ?
    nevermind, found that didn't remove all of the old washer and that plus the new one was making threading the nut impossible.
    now that it is back together and not leaking at all, forgetting some of the pain....God looks out for little children and fools

Also, I can NOT get my truck to fire off all it will do is turn over. It ran fine and I went to change the fuel filter and it ran like poo for a while and now will not start at all. I was bleeding air from line and overtightened the nut and broke the threads clean off of the "fuel pressure regulator". Where could i get an FPR piece

    At 2:00 we see the 2 bolts that hold the bowl on. Anyone doing this task without watching this video first would never know the Ford engineers (if you can call them engineers - shi#heads seems better) put the 2 bolts there to hold the bowl on. Plus, it's a pain to get to the 2 lines that go the the heads (passenger side of bowl on bottom). I took off what i think is a fuel heater for easier access (it looks like a voltage regulator. there's 2 of them inline. only took off the front one). Haven't put this thing back together yet.... Trey: Thanks for letting us know what the rubber bushings (sleeves) are for: 11:18 to 11:30.

My worry is the ICP and the fact it had some oil in it when I unplugged it. I cleaned it up a bit and plugged it back in. Still taking a while to kick over, its rough and loud for the first 30 seconds or so, then a normal idle and driving.
