I have a leak somewhere under the turbocharger. It appears to be coming from an area where two copper tubes are tied into a fuel pump? I'm not sure what is exactly leaking but could use others thoughts.

I have a 1996 f250 Power stroke and I have fuel that leaks sometimes when I park, I now think it is coming from under where the fuel filter is. There is a pepthat you can pull and release any water that got into the fuel. I think the spring is weak but I havn't figured out how to replace it.

small o rings in fuel filter on bleed off valve can leak it will look as though it is leaking under turbo but is traveling down the valley of the motor

I have a 96 F350 7.3 and am having the leak in the engine valley and drools down the hole on the rear right side. This will be the third time for this, when it happened before it was under warranty and it seems what they changed was a fuel pump but they also remarked that it was unusual for this pump to fail. This truck only has 73000 miles and here now another one?So... I have multiple questions, what pump is this so I know what I am looking for, there is confusion when I call the dealer as to what pump it is, he thought it was a high pressure oil pump even though I said it is leaking fuel and gave me a 699.00 figure. NAPA gave me a picture of what they believe to be the pump but does not show location, it is only 139.00. Last question is why would I keep having failures of this pump, the truck all original.

Thanks,

Andy

My 95 Powerstroke starts cold. Once it is warmed up I have to give it a shot of starting fluid to get it started. Someteimes it dies on deceleration. It is now becoming a little harder to start cold. As long I keep feeding it with the accelerator it will keep running.

I have been told its the fuel pump. I have also been told its the High Pressure Pump. We put it on the diagnostic, it says fuel pressure above or below desired. Anyone have any experience like this? Whats the fix? How difficult? Where can I get the part?

I have a fuel leak on my 97 f-250 powerstroke diesel, this just happened last week.it has 151, 000 miles on it.the truck still looks like new.after driving any place with it you can smell diesel fuel & see a few wet spots on the ground. I changed the fuel filter & o-ring.cleaned up the engine valley so I could see where the leak was coming from, I also tighten the hose clamps that I could see & get to.it was ok for a few days and now it's back, I checked it the other day & its wet in the engine valley again, but not as bad as the first time.so my question is whats leaking? the hoses or the fuelpump? how hard of a job is it? can i fix it myself or should i take it into the dealer? I'AM RETIRED have all kinds of time, but can just imagine what the dealer would soak me for on this job.any thoughts or ideas on this would be much appreciated.thanks!!!

Have a 96 with 7.3 stroke. It starts hard, better if warmed up. By hard start it can take 2 or 3 cranks to get it started in this warm weather. This is not the norm as I have had this since it was new and this started about 6 months back. Have replaced glow plugs, fuel filter, batteries check out OK. Am at a loss..... Any ideas

I have a 97 power stroke and I am having the same fuel leak problem as a lot of others. Can anyone tell me what they have done to cure this problem. I have cleaned the engine off a couple of times and tried to see where it might be leaking from, but still not sure. It appears to be leaking from somewhere around the turbo area. Seems this is a common problem on this engine with hopefully a common cure.
