I fired up my 6.7 in my 2011 F350 this morning for the first time in a couple weeks. The truck doesn't see a lot of use in winter. It may go 3-4 weeks without being driven. I was letting it warm up while I shoveled the driveway. I looked under the truck and saw a large puddle of fuel. I didn't have time to clean the snow off and look under the hood. I was just wondering if anyone has run into this problem before

 

Was puddle under the engine or midway back under drivers seat area where fuel filter is?

 

If it was in the area highlighted in bold red, I attribute that to an improperly installed primary fuel filter. I had one towed into me not too long ago, that the owner chose to take to Canadian Tire to change a set of filters, only to break off the positive stop tab on the DFCM housing, causing it to leak. The owner chose to tow it away, since I was unwilling to replace the housing under warranty.

 

This was my initial thought too but he didnt state mileage or recent filter changes.

 

The leak was directly under the engine.

The truck has about 27k on it. I had fuel filter replaced about a year ago. All service has been done at dealer. All I do is add fuel and DEF

 

Part of the rubber return hose has likely broken off at one of the plastic connection barbs.

 

Is this a common problem?

 

I dont think so,atleast not a topic of discussion.

 

Not THAT common, but I have come across ONE personally, and have seen/heard a couple of other fellow techs come across this issue before. This is bearing in mind how many of these trucks are out there.

 

Got the truck back from the dealer today. Turns out it was a broken Fuel injector hold down. There is a TSB #12-3-4 for this problem.

 

I'm glad to hear that your dealership got this taken care of, KWest. If you need any assistance in the future, just let me know.
