Removing Fuel Bowl

[bbressler]

Need a little help..

I'm trying to track down a fuel leak, it appears to be coming from the fuel bowl...not sure if it's the bowl itself, or a connection.

I'm trying to get that thing taken off so I can inspect it, but I must be missing a bolt or something..

I tooke the two 1/2 bolts off, then loosened the fuel lines from the front of the bowl, and loosened the clamps to the hoses on the back of the bowl.

Am I missing some trick?

Thanks for the help

did you remove the 2 return lines on the front of it?and the lines on the fuel pressure regulator?

Return lines, yes I got those....help me find the fuel pressure regulator...Is that on the driver's side of the bowl? Where does that line from the regulator go?

Yes, driver's side - the two lines toward the front go to the front of each head. It sounds like you got those from your initial post. Im looking for directions I have seen about removing the bowl. If/when I find it, I'll post it for you but I havent been successful yet.

Alright...I got it..

I didn't have the water bleed hose disconnected, and the line going to the pump was stuck pretty good.

I think I found my leak, too...

There is a piece, looks kind of like a bell that threads into the base of the bowl...it's some kind of sensor. It was leaking down onto the hose going to the pump. What's the name of that sensor?

not certain but that might be the Water In Fuel sensor. I've never had to fiddle with it to be certain.

I think I've got it all fixed.

What was leaking was the "Restricted Fuel Filter Sensor"...about $60 from a dealer. The parts guy said he goes through a lot of them.

It screws into the base of the fuel bowl, facing rearwards.

I did find the water in fuel sensor, but that one is on the drivers side.

Thanks for all the tips!
