Fuel filter O ring - £130 help!

[Jeremy006]

   

Has anyone encountered this before?

I have 2013 1.6hdi Berlingo which developed a diesel leak from a fuel filter drain pipe

On removing the fuel filter it looks like the green o ring on the end of the housing spigot has been damaged, letting fuel pass.

I've scoured the internet but cant find a replacement, it's and odd size, about 6mm o/d 2mm i/d

None of the standard o ring sets fit, they are too thin, I've looked at air con o rings but dont seem to go that small

Citreon want £130 for a new housing assembly!

Can any one help?

Go to your nearest Agricultural engineers or Hydraulic repairers with the part and old ring - they usually have a very good selection, What is the thickness of the ring?

Be very, very careful when putting the thing back together again. I have been told that the long tube has a nasty habit of breaking off which leaves you with a £135 bill for the whole housing as the tube is not replaceable.
