Ford Dealer verified that Diesel Fuel Valve is leaking. Quoted $245 to fix with $62 valve plus labor. I was and am still in total disbelief. If it is only the O-rings leaking then $4.00 in parts and some personal labor can fix this. oh and BTW they charged me $118 for a lube and oil change. Probably the last time I'll go there.
Amazing, The ford stealer that I go to has a sign along the road that says oil and filter change 19.95. Bib Ridings in Taylorville IL. I feel sure youtube has a how to on changing those O rings. It is a piece of cake, but kinda rough on my way too big belly. :W
BTW, I even took the wife's Toyota in for that price which is obviously for gassers.
So if you cruise youtube or have a do it yourself neighbor like me, I can send you the O rings for grins.
Dave:
I put in tho o rings yesterday that you sent me.....only need 2, but now when I start the Excursion, its seems as if I'm getting diesel blowing out of the valve drain tube.
The valve turned rather easily before the o ring replacement. Now it is rather tight with a noticable click when closing it. Is it possible to overtighten the 4 torx screws? I didn't think I did.
Any ideas??
BTW....I had issues with my belly getting in the way while I was laying across the top of that big 7.3l......:B
