Leaking Fuel / Water valve

I have a '94 3500 with 214,000 miles.

The valve that drains water from the fuel filter has started leaking fuel from the drain in the bottom of the filter.

I changed the filter & installed a new 27.00 valve.

The leak start back immediately

I am getting some sort of backpressure I guess?

I have never changed the fuel lines and they need replacing obviously.

What is causing the leak

Thanks,

Tom

Lift pump or Overflow valve

From looking back into the posts. It sounds like I might have a lift pump failing or an overflow valve that is bad or both?

Pointers please

Thanks,


Tom

I think I would look at your overflow valve. They can cause high filter pressure when bad among other things.

Where is the Overflow Valve?

Not to sound smart but where is the overflow valve?

I have no clue where the valve or what it looks like

Thanks,

Tom
