Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / December 20061992 W250 fuel leak
I'm leaking fuel from above the heater element that sets above the fuel filter, has anyone removed this heater before. The only thing I see that holds it on is the shaft that the filter attaches to and it is slotted, I just don't want to torque on something if there is more to the removal. Thanks Chris 95 w250 4x4 extended cab 06 3500 4x4 4 door long bed.... Disregard, I figured it out.....

There is a rubber seal that sets above the fuel heater that the fuel fitter attaches to. To replace, remove your fuel filter then using a wide blade screwdriver remove the threaded insert that the fuel filter attaches to, the heater will drop down, swap out the gasket ($1.90) and snug it back up. I probably wasted $20 in fuel putting off the repair for a 20 minute job. My seal was completely flat and hard so I would imagine most folks are by now, I bought the truck new and change the fuel filter every 15k or so, I will make sure to resnug this everytime from now on.
