Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Ford Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

1 have a 1999 f250 4x4 with a 7.3 desiel engine. The problem is with the fuel system. the by pass or return (?) is spewing more fuel than i can put in. I've trierd to cap it, but that doesn't work. it just started. I've heard that i can fix it by putting in a new bolt(?) with o rings. can you tell me what needs to be done to fix this problem. Thank you for your time.

Roger, Where is the line leaking from? Is it the sending unit at the fuel tank? If so, remove the tank and replacing the sending unit.
