Where is it coming from? Is the drain valve open?

Here is a quick way to get yourself back on the road.

Take a piece of hose that fits the drain valve,

clamp it on, plug or bend it in half and clamp it again.

Easy way to get back on the road if it is the drain valve. Just dont leave it like that forever.

That is ... quite common.

Your best bet would be a wrecking yard. Ford will bend you over...

If not, its time for a full on fuel bowl delete and a regulated return...
