I need some help figuring out the fuel filter mounting plate and a fuel leak (86 M1009). First let me say the engine has been running like a top for almost 2K miles since I got it in Sept. I started noticing a leak on ground. I removed the fuel filter on firewall last night. Interestingly no fuel seemed to come out the drain at all but the filter is full. I noticed 3 metal probes and one plastic one which the filter fits onto. The plastic one came off in my hand. I suspect that is why I have a leak. From the manual online (so grateful this is avail. here) it looks like it bolts on from behind? My question is: is the plastic probe (sensor?) part of the mounting plate or does the plate slip over it because it is on a part behind it? Do I need to buy a mounting plate or fix something behind it?
Can I fix this myself or should I get a mechanic? thanks much Chris
