My gf had her LMM's fuel filter changed at jiffy lube about a month ago, after about a week t started dripping diesel so she took it back and they "fixed" it. Well it began pouring fuel!
So I took it in there and what the deal is, is the little "top-hat" looking grommet at the tip of the drain petcock and the O-ring directly below it are leaking and allowing diesel to drain out the petcock. It looked to me like they were tightening the petcock to tight and crushed them. And at their expense they replaced the water seperator assembly because the grommet and o-ring were not available seperatly.
It is leaking in the same place AGAIN!
Does anyone know of a grommet and o-ring that will work in this location? I am getting tired of taking it back since it keeps leaking anyway but I sure don't want to replace the whole assembly over a little grommet! If it was my truck I would just cut the nipple off the petcock and put a screw in there lol.
Does anyone have any suggestions on replacement grommet or o-ring pieces?
I appreciate any help you guys have!
