1996 Ford Truck Repair Question
Mileage: No information provided.
Fuel filter isnt sealing on my 96 powerstroke WHY??
Answer
first of all check your lines see if it is'nt broken at the tip thats one cause for that another would be the threads at the end of the lines or at the filter if thats ok check your fuel pressure your pump could be at falt.
good luck with your car
Well it sounds like you checked all the basics.. Checking the fuel filter gasket making sure thats not all messed up. My next thought would be checking the nipple that the filter screws into the threaded part to make sure its not lose, if it is it meaks the filter isn't going all the way up tot he base thus creating a space.. no matter how small it would make a difference..
Hope this helps,

have you checked the length of your filter to the old? have seen some wix filters be too long and ford also say the same about wix filters there is some inprefection about them that won't let the lid go all the way down not sure which brand you use. and if it is forced it will break the heater in the bottom of the filter houseing. thus in some cases won't let the truck start. also try puting the gasket on dry without lubing it up sometimes it makes the gasket push out when lubed.NOS
