2006 fuel leak

kennymac · 10-05-2008, 06:04 AM

I just purchased a 2006 dodge cummins but after driving a while I found fuel leaking from somewhere on the back of the engine. I can't find where it is coming from, I changed the fuel filter and new gasket, I thought the fuel filter canister may be leaking, but no luck. Any Ideas

If you didn't notice this leak til after you changed the fuel filter, check your filter housing drain valve, my first time changing it I didn't quite move it all the way til its shut.

I had an experience with the drain valve this weekend. I was adjusting the Idle on my 12v and bumped the valve into the open position accidentally. I Luckily I was just driving around the block or I'd of run it completely out of Fuel. What a Mess
