General Diesel Fuel Filter Housing

[Daluns]

This has probably been asked before.
My UFI diesel Filter housing is leaking a drop of fuel from the drain valve.
Is there an O ring replacement kit. I have been looking but cannot find one. And they don't seem to come with the replacement fuel filter as you would expect. I don't want to be buying a new housing for the sake of two small O rings.
Any help will be appreciated.

If they’re just small O rings can you not just buy an assorted pack off Fleebay or Amazon and use the appropriate size?

Buna-N, Nitrile or Viton O Rings would be fine

I suspect diesel and rubber will not last, but should be fine in the short term

Get some caliper on it and give use the diameter and thickness

Or take a close up picture on a ruler with 0.5mm graduations, Looking straight down, keeping the camera square, should be good enough for us to work out the sizes

Always mean to get a set from the isle of shame (Aldi) when the have a set of nitrile in stock

Rubber used to be OK with diesel, but the methyl-ester used in B7 will rot anything made of rubber including silicone. Ideally use Viton.
