Boiler Fuel Filter Leaking

[crazy charlie]

Hey guys !! I need to know if there are any orings in a standard "unifilter" fuel filter for my Weil McLain boiler.It started dripping yesterday.All seemed tight.It is the type that has a bolt on top as well as on the bottom.Name on it is Unifilter model # 88.I plan on removing for inspection or replacement tomorrow .I am trying to minimize the time that it is removed because it will probably keep dripping fuel as I inspect it and the home heating oil really smells up the entire basement.I have caught a 1/2 pint in a container overnight.anyone familiar with seals/orings,possible leaking points????? Charlie

Ayuh,...

A New filter will come with the necessay orings,+ gaskets Charlie.....

It shouldn't be more that $10.... Probably Less.....

Turn the fuel off at the tank, it should drip less...

Re: Boiler Fuel Filter Leaking

thats exactly what I did this morning!! The whole new setup was $12 including the top that threads into the fuel lines.I thought it would be way more than that.After paying top dollar for just about everything I need.....I feel like I finally got a bargain for $12.Thanks for the reply
