Drain Valve

[ulhpilot]

I'm having a hard time finding the part numbers for the hose that goes from the Fuel Filter Manager to the water drain valve and the hose that leaves the drain valve and hangs loose. I realize the latter is probably just a generic diesel fuel line (ID ?) but the former has some type of fitting on it. Mine is leaking due to the shop tech trying to reroute it and they stretched it so tight that is leaking at the fitting. I tried LMC, RockAuto and most of the GM sites. So far no good.

Im building an engine and literally just replaced mine last week. Fitting?? Mine had hose clamps. Just match the hose at any auto parts store 3/8" fuel line I think?

Correction: 1/4" fuel hose

Yes, hose ID is .25 inches. Measured with dial calipers. I could find no info for '92 6.5TD but the local Chevy dealer found an exploded view of a 6.2 NA that uses a different fuel filter but a similar drain valve setup. Parts # 09438257 (fuel line) and 10154675 (drain valve). Problem is the fuel line part is 13mm (.5 inch) so that's a no go. You can see in the picture the line from the FFM to the drain valve has some sort of fitting. The hose is leaking from the part where it appears to be crimped. I haven't disassembled valve yet so I might be able to just clamp line to valve. And no, I'm not the person that mounted the valve to the bottom of the thermostat housing.

Take the line off, put a nipple on the valve end, 1/4" fuel hose, and hose clamp it.

Under the crimped looking thingy is a regular hose barb.The crimped thingy can be cut off or ignored.Add a hose clamp to what you have or change the line and add a hose clamp and you will be good to go.
I have reused many of those kind of fittings.Out in bush where i live you just have to get things done because the parts stores are 100 miles away if i don't have it.

Drain valve finished. No more leaks. Nothing is ever as easy as it looks . Never. Now on the the next of many problems.

I feel your pain. In the process, myself, of updating my 94. Just had the fuel lines replaced, new sending unit with the sock deleted, new fuel tank, Carter lift pump, pre lift pump fuel filter, Fluidampr harmonic balancer, and billet crankshaft pulley. Fortunately, I have a local shop that does this kind of work, provided they don't have to get into the engine. Next project will be glow plugs and injectors but with only 87k miles on the clock, it will probably be awhile before it actually needs to be done. I'll drop the money into repairs rather having a monthly payment that rivals my mortgage. Hoping that fixing or replacing known issues will keep it going for another 20+ years.
