broken bleeding screw on fuel filter

[croftonaviation]

Question for everyone. I had the bleeding screw break off on the fuel filter. Is this a findable item at a napa store? does anyone know a part # or the thread size and pitch. Also any ideas as to removing the old one, I was thinking an easy out but I figured I'd ask the experts first. Thanks for the help, this is my daily driver so I'm hung at the moment.

this should be the part #24267. i went to the chevy dealer and they said they could order it but it was like $30. thats crazy. i ordered a new assembly and the drain pluged leaked right from the start. you should be able to get it out but be careful of the plastic peices.
Im going with a spin on next. good luck

has anyone had good luck with oem surplus in WI? They have the whole assy pretty cheap I was thinking of just ordering the whole
thing, I need to change the filter soon anyway.

Thats where i got mine from good price. but it leaked at the drain plug out of the box i loosen it a retighten but still had a small leak. But ive read where other people have had no problems. maybe mine was a defect or operater error Lol.

Fixed mine for $4.00. I bought two brass fittings from OReillys, one elbow shaped, one with a petcock. I had to rethread the elbow with a 9mm die, put an o-ring on the top, done deal. Now I can bleed my fuel with a lever versus a screw.

i believe I have one of the little screws on the filter base that I pulled off my truck. If you don't find one, pm me and I will send it your way. Not worth anything to me and if you can use it it's yours.
