B9200 fuel leak

[Mikeb9200]

Just replaced fuel filter assembly unit. Thought it was bad. Bought a new one, installed it, it leaks in the exact same spot, right at the seam, at the air bleeder valve at the very top. It leaks at the seam where the quarter inch brass stem is seated into the filter assembly unit. Cannot figure it out for nothing.....please help!!

Post a picture or two if you can.

Your fuel line could have a linear crack in it. Try replacing that cheap rubber hose.

Thanks for the help. To fix the problem, I pulled out the little brass air bleed nipple, threaded the hole and ran a bolt with a neoprene washer. No more fuel leak, no more air in system. She never ran better!!
