I replaced the fuel filter in my 6.5 Turbo and now there is fuel leaking from beneath Filter canistor. Anyone else have this problem before? What was solution? Thanks

Is it coming from the seal on the cover? It can be a pain sometimes getting it to seal properly. Then there is the rubber hoses under the filter housing...........

Not the filter cover, have now removed the air horn and intake manifold, the only thing I have found is that the bottom cover on the canistor was slightly loose and there was evidence of fuel. It is like a Mason jar cap. Cannot believe that this is my problem, looking for cracks in fuel lines now. 94 K2500 ext cab 4X4 Silverado Short Bed.

Sorry DmaxMaverick I couldn't find where you moved this topic to -- I must be getting old :(

Scruffy, If you have the style of filter canister with the heater wires coming out of the bottom then that is the most likely source of the leak, the wire disenigrate over time and end up leaking.

BTW welcome to the DP forums :D
