Still trying to resolve the problem of my leaking spin-on fuel
filter. To summarize:
Car is a 1983 300D. Fuel is leaking out around the top of the "hollow
bolt" in the center of the filter flange.
The hollow bolt has two o-rings on it. There is no crush washer at
the top of the bolt but it looks like maybe there should be.
I could not find a crush washer in the right size locally, so I tried
a fiber washer. The leaking was worse, but the fiber washer was
fairly thick compared to the typical crush washer.
Harbor Freight has a set of nitrile rubber metric O-rings that I'm
thinking about buying. Someone on the list suggested that the fuel
filter should come with new O-rings, crush washer, or both. Rusty
says none of them do that he knows of.
I currently am unable to drive the car because the fuel leak is that
bad.
Questions, can anyone answer with certainty:
a) there *should* be a crush washer at the top of the hollow bolt?
b) would the harbor freight nitrile o-rings hold up OK to diesel
fuel (I don't run bio-d)?
Thanks,
Allan
