98 Dodge 12V Fuel Leak
yesterday i went to go tow my fathers boat and i noticed a decent size puddle of fuel under my truck. it seems to be leaking over by the fuel filter maybe a little more behind that. i did change my fuel filter last week. i did tighten everything up. i checked the drain valve and that is closed. i haven't really had time to look yet. hopefully tomorrow i can. i did see this post. maybe a similar problem. i dunno how similar the 12v and the 24v are tho.

im pretty sure i have them in right. i will first check the injector lines. then inspect and replace if necessary.

well i found where its leaking from. it looks like it will be fun to replace. im guessing it is the fuel supply line?
when i run the truck it squirts out right before the hose clamp. its a crappy cell phone pic.
and it seems like it may be a rubber line i cant quite tell. im going to try and rip into it more tomorrow.

had one like it go out on my 96, its a pre formed hose, luckily my local cummins dealer had one on the shelf, i now carry a spare one in the glove box, although you can use a long pice of fuel line for a temporary repair untill you get the rite part,
