Crack in top of fuel filter housing

I have a crack in the top of the fuel filter housing on my 98.5. Had it welded once and apparently the crack opened up and is leaking when under pressure. I'm trying to find a stock fuel filter housing. Anyone know where I might find one? I've looked on ebay but don't see one right now. Can't afford to spend the money on a new system.

Thanks for the reply JohnH but that 2003 won't work on my 98. I saw that one before I put in my post. Thanks again.

Does yours have the screw on plastic cap? I thought I seen one for yours on Ebay yesturday, but it must have ended. I do know they wanted $225.00 for it complete. It didn't have the screw on cap, it was all metal. I was looking for a fuel filter housing plastic cap for mine and remember seeing this one. They may relist it, you might want to check ebay often. IMO that is too much $ for the part. Good Luck!

Ridiculous money for that.

He would be better off scraping together the money for an airdog or using an aftermarket filter like a Racor. Theres no need to use the factory filter. A filter is a filter. As a matter of fact, a few years ago there was a thread where someone had the same problem and replaced the factory filter with a generic type filter. I will see if I can find it.
