I appears that the plug in for the fuel heater is leaking. I can't see how to remove the part. Is it the entire base that has to come off? I tried taking a pic with my phone for a better look. No go.

I think the heater is held on with a "Nut"...same nut the fuel filter threads onto. The heater upper o-ring is more like a square sided oring...available at the dealer, but be forewarned....they can only order them in a pack of 10. If the dealer want's to be a dink about it, that's one expensive part if you have to buy the pack!!! I think they're about 4 bucks a piece.... If it's the fuel heater itself....open your wallet..

I found a video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhrS9-0tcqk If that is supposed to work for gelling? I'll just add Howe's in really cold weather.

There is an adapter with a slot running across it. I am trying to either pry the plastic heater off, or see it that adapter is holding in in there. Aggrivating durn thing! Back to the 90+ heat and humidity! Thanks Herkamer! "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"

I have to get 2 NPT nuts to work against each other to remove the adapter. "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"

Looks like I will need to get a grade 8 washer and grind it flat to remove the adapter pipe. I ordered a shorter heater eliminator pipe from Cummins. It may be in tomorrow or Friday. I have time to reinstall the tank. I'll have to get some pics up when I get the fitting out. "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"

Not on a 93. I am going to yank it with vice grips or a pipe wrench. I just bought a shorter adapter from Cummins for the purpose of eliminating the heater. $30 and I got it over night. You can get the same part elsewhere for $15.95+shipping. Looking forward to hearing the Cummins again! "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"

The new piece can be installed with an 8mm or a sloppy 5/16th hex wrench. "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"
