smell that?

[banana]

Has anyone ever had a slight smell of diesel fuel coming from around the front of their truck after stopping and turning it off. I have looked in the engine compartment with a spotlight but can't locate a fuel leak. I replaced a sensor that was leaking about 9 months ago, it took me a while to figure out where that leak was, due to all the stuff in the valley of the block. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look carefully when it is daylight. That is how you find leaks. Keep looking at the fuel lines and the like. You will find it.

Thanks

I think i found the source of the leak. it is at the very bottom of the valley, there are blue colored fuel lines. That one is cracking. Is this fuel line different than regular fuel line, and if so does napa carry it?

I had the same problem, except mine was actually leaking down the back of the engine.

I took the fuel canister out, replaced the Orings on the drain of the fuel canister and I replaced the two blue hoses.
No more smell or leak !!!

Good luck!
