F300 sediment bowl leaking

Bkpigs · Oct 28, 2013

I have tightened the packing nut over the years on the sediment bowl but now that won't stop the leak. Can I replace the packing? Does the fuel tank need to be empty to do so? Or do I need the replace the entire unit? Thanks!

If it's what I'm thinking, I replaced the packing on my 'H' with a wrap or two of thjinner-diameter Teflon stem packing. No leaks, no drips, no errors, unlike the Cardinals.....

I"ve also had great success with teflon tape on sediment bowls.

Look in the faucet section at your local hardware store. They should have teflon string packing in a couple of different sizes. It usually does the trick for me.

The shut-off valve assembly used to be available seperately from CIH. They used to be about 1/3 the price of a complete new bowl assembly. I don't know if either are still available today from CIH.
