Fuel in the valley
Well, went fishin after work today and got down to the river and smelled fuel when I got out of my truck. There is fuel puddled in the valley. Can't tell if it's coming from the pump, bowl, a line or what. Guess I'll tear into it tomorrow evening after work and find out. Any tips or info on anything specific to look for?

I've been thinking about e fuel, but I don't really have the money for that right now. I'm just gonna find what's leaking and fix that for now.

I've got a box with the bowl and all that stuff in it from when I did the E fuel. Let me know if you need anything.

clean up the valley real good, put a few paper towels in the valley, start it up and see where its dripping. if you have a little inspection mirror, take a look at the weep hole on the under side of the fuel pump on the passenger side. if thats dripping, time for a new pump and replace the hoses in the valley while you have them all exposed in the pump replacement process.
if the leak is coming from the fuel bowl area, that may be cracked, or a hose underneath, or the fuel pressure regulator. so just dry the valley and get a better idea of where the leak is coming from before digging into it.

Thanks Glenn, hopefully I'll have what I need between the other two trucks, but I will keep that in mind and appreciate the offer bud!
