Soooo
I rolled over 200,000KM today (ive had her since 150) and the truck gave me a sweet little surprise... I was watching the odometer and smiling and the smile abruptly left my face when i smelled diesel.. Pulled into the lumber yard lot to pick up some lumber, popped the hood and noticed fuel GUSHING from the top of the Fuel filter ( where the ring seals ) I use the Metal fuel filter and I have the plastic ring... I tried a new one and really tightened it , but it still seems to seep a bit of fuel!!! Anyone else had this problem??? A friend of mine at the stealers mentioned that i might be able to fix it with a big hose clamp ( tried with no luck ) They didnt have a replacement retainer ring.. so i had to make do with what I've got. Anyone else had this problem?? How did you solve it? Hoping for another 50,000 trouble free kilometers (well sorta)
