WELCOME TO FTE!!! mat7293!
If you are finding fuel under your truck it is most likely leaking fom on top in "The Valley". When we develope leaks it collects in the valley and runs down the back right (passenger) side of the engine. There are a few things up there that can leak, fuel pump, banjo bolt or a few lines, the bowl it's self. What you have to do is remove the "Darth Vader Mask" and clean it up real good. I would focus tat the fuel pump. There are 2 weepholes that will leak when your pump is spent.

Let us know what else you need
