Intermittant fuel filter leak
:roll:
Answer
Does it leak when it's sitting still and idling? A leak should be happening all the time. Maybe when you're driving faster the leak is running back on the line from the air rushing on it. I would do what you have to do to make the leak noticeable and bring it back and let them fix it. Otherwise disconnect the filter yourself, check if there are o-rings, they may need to be replaced.
It did leak idling and sitting still.
Update: While messing with it yesterday i noticing the fuel filter was loose on it bracket so I shook it up and down to simulate the rough roads here in town and what do you know the bottom line popped off!
I pushed it back upon the filter with the plastic catch pin pulled out and then pushed the push pin back in place tightened down the fuel filter bracket and tested to see if the bottom line would pull loose.
It's not leaking for now but stay tuned to see if our moon craters (I mean chug holes) shake it loose again
Ford why can't you guys put maintenance things where people can get at them?? :evil:
