I have owned 2 f250 pickups. One 1983 and one 1987. They both have had 2ea failures of the fuel line to carburator float bowl fitting. The float bowl part number from ford is e5tz 9510-mb. The threaded bore of the float bowl becomes bell shaped over time. This causes fuel to leak between the fuel line and front float bowl. This fuels leaks on the hot manifold. Ford knows of the problem and simply raised the price on the replacement part to earn more profit. It used to be less than $50 and currently is over $80. I will send two samples of the part so you may see for yourself what is happening. This is a major safety issue and i have no doubt affects thousands of ford f250's.
