91 cummins fuel water seperator drain

It is as tight as it will go and I just replaced the filter and o-ring as I
originally thought the filter was leaking. The fuel appears to be leaking
directly from the drain.

You say "appears", I would put a length of clear tubing on the drain
to see if it actually is coming out of the valve. If it is then there
must be something caught in the seat, takeit off and clean and inspect
it. I'm thinking maybe it is leaking at the threads and maybe the "O"
ring is cut or pinched. In any case, the whole assembly is available
at Cummins.
