horrible fuel leak
Ok guys i have an old 6.2 out of an 82 van. I drove to work today everything was fine til i put it in park and sat at an idle. It started idling pretty rough. On my way in i noticed i had a puddle under my truck so i opened the hood to find out it is leaking from the metal fuel line in between the line and nut it was not a slight leak it was squirting out fuel all over everything and was running horribly. Could my injector be bad? I havent had any time to work on it. Any ideas would help. It wasnt leaking before this thats why im wondering if my injector has failed. Please help. Thanks

It is the metal line that runs from injection pump to the injector. Im guessing injector line. Its not a return line and it comes from the injection pump not feeds to it. But like i said its spraying out like a geyser in between the line and the fitting. Almost as if i forgot to tighten it but again it wasnt leakin before

Im sure...the high pressure line goes thru the fitting that fastens to the injector...its dumpin out in between the line and the fitting....its not the return lines
