Prob those banjo bolt washers. Get them at the International dealer and throw them in.

 

You think? Its collecting beneath the banjo I took a pic of it

 

Try tightening the banjo bolt a tad (1-1/4" wrench). Cheers!

 

i had a diesel leak on my father's truck i thought it was the rubber hoses, nope it was those damn washers. took me two tires to get it right. one was not seated properly and allowed it to leak. fixed it no more leaks.

part number F4TZ-9A375-A. they are about $6 at ford. my dealer had to order them so you may want to call ahead

 

took me two tires ( :hehe: ) to get it right.

Too good to pass up.....

 

International wasn't even more than $2 for mine. If I need anything for these motors I always go to International. Ford wants an arm and a leg for everything.

 

that's true when i buy parts there. but when IH don't have something in stock it's always a week and ford can have it same day or next. and not everyone has an IH dealer in their town. i guess i will need to call them on every thing

 

har har grammar nazi

 

This definitely saved me some money. I was about to order new houses got the bowl. I have a slight drip if diesel and a strong smell at times. Hope this is my issue.

 

There is also a weep hole on the passenger front side of the pump. My was dripping from there and running back to the rear. Might want to check that too.

 

my weeping and dripping is usually from staying in bed too long at night......

course, I'ma OL' Coot, so.....

 

Ha ha, Lmfao!!

 

I wanted to thank you guys for your input in this thread as well as some of the other fuel leak threads. I'm the new owner of an 1996 7.3l, and I'm enjoying it so far.

I had a leak which was dripping from the bellhousing cover. It was difficult to tell where the leak was coming from with the engine cover on. With it off and with a good flashlight I quickly determined that the source of the leak was the banjo. Who the heck keeps a 1-1/4" box end wrench handy? I guess that I do now. I was able to put a little bit on the banjo before my wrench ran out of stroke and I was not able to clock the wrench to get another pull on it. But, it was enough. Just a little bit of movement on the banjo nut tightened the connection and eliminated the leak. I never get this lucky!

Holy Hell of a banjo bolt washer problem! I've been through 2 sets in 1,000Miles- Thank the lord it was done under warranty. Thanks to Patrick Feeley I'll suggest they tighten it down before going for another.
