Oil & Fuel diesel leak at bleeder Ford 2600

[jimbobs61]

I recentlychanged my diesel filter on my Ford 2600 and now have a leak at the top of the bleeder bolt. I changed out the copper washers and used teflon tape on the threads but it still leaks. Do I need to replace the whole filter assenbly? Thanks, Jim

The copper washers are your seal. Replace them and get rid of the teflon tape. Be careful to make sure no debris makes its way past the filter as it will be harmful to your injector pump.
