what is the line for that's dripping fuel?
This morning when I started the truck I got a leak of fuel coming out of this line. I drove to where I was going and parked the truck. While the truck is off I get no leak. Drove it back home and it was leaking again.
It seems to be some kind of breather tube. Do I just need to replace the hose with diesel rated fuel line and be done with it or do I have bigger problems? By the way, the hose is terribly rotted.
I'm under the passenger tire and that shiny new tube is the EBPT for reference.
It comes up to the top of the bay and just dies here.

some people add the hose so when you open the drain lever to drain any fuel you can catch it in a jug/bucket and not make a mess on your drive way.
this is what you will need.

I really appreciate the how to.
I have a problem now though. I started the truck this morning with no problem. But it died a minute later and now wont start. Fuel gauge still reads plenty of fuel.
Could the o-rings cause a no start problem? Is there something else I should be looking at, or just wait for the o-rings to show up and replace?

I pulled the fuel bowl cover off when I got home and it had no fuel in the bowl. I turned the key to on the position 4 or 5 times and checked the bowl. It then had fuel in it. I then cycled the key 2 more times for good measure since I had taken the cover off. Still no start. I cranked it 3 times for 4 seconds or so each time with no luck.
I did not mess with the yellow plastic switch on the back of the fuel bowl as I do not when I should or shouldnt touch it.
Should I have done something different?

The ground was soaked but I think it was because of taking the FB cover off.
I forgot to mention that while cycling the key for fuel pressure. The noise of the moving fuel sounded like a fart under water. It never really sounded solid. ?? While I didnt see any fuel leaking from anywhere maybe air is escaping from somewhere? I'm pretty clueless here.

Since my package from diesel o rings wont get to me until I get home wedn night. Can anyone tell me what the 3rd o ring is supposed to be? The 2 main ones are #202. Any idea if my local auto parts will stock them?
Also does it sound like I'm on the right path so far with my last couple of posts? Still hopeful that the new o-rings will solve my problem?
Thanks so much!
