Fuel filter leaking after replacement (G30 diesel)
Hi
I just swapped the fuel filter after having to hard start the van about half of the times I tried driving it. Water in fuel light wasn't on, but it's an '84 that I just picked up a few months ago so I'm not confident that that sensor works in the first place. Anyway, I started it a couple times since changing it and while it appears to be starting great, there is fuel leaking from the filter. It appears to be leaking from the drain port. The old filter was not leaking. I took it off and put it back on but it's still happening. Any ideas besides trying a new filter?
