Fuel leak help

SuperDuty73 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2008, 01:09 PM

I have a constant dripping fuel leak from the right side of the fuel bowl at idel. It is coming out of the weird looking bolt-like object that is screwed itno the filter housing and has a wire hooked up to it at it's end. What is this called and do I need to replace it?
Thanks alot!

My Problem area looks like its some fuel pressure sending switch but I have no clue what to do? Replace it? Tighten? or What?
