Fuel Bowl Drain Valve

Fuel Bowl Drain Valve
Well I started getting the faint smell of raw diesel in the cab of the truck so I looked under the hood and the valley had raw diesel in it. 2 years ago I ordered the o-rings from Guzzle for just this occasion.
I removed the valve and replaced the o-rings, I have the type of valve that the middle comes out of so I also replaced the small o-ring on the shaft. After the reinstall I clicked the key on and opened the valve and fuel started spraying out of the top of the valve, turned the valve off and no leaks. I removed the valve again and replced the shaft o-ring again and the same thing happened again. I dont have any leaks from the valve unless I put it in the drain position with the key turned on. I guess this means I need a new drain valve?????
Should I replace it even if it only leaks when I put it in the drain position??

The only trouble I had was that I forgot to insert the lever into the notch on top of the housing body before tightening the screws around the valve body... hence I'm running with the valve closed adn no handle until I get the time to remove the valve again to reinstall the handle (unless I remove the filter housing altogether before then).

I just did mine a few weeks ago and did this very thing Pete. LOL I bit the bullet and fixxed it right then though. Got to love Guzzles Military Approved O-rings!
