Exclamation HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!

Evening guys, I'll try to make this short... I'm supposed to head down to Baltimore in the morning to take classes for the week, a 10hr drive from Maine. I went to fill up the truck 10 minutes ago and noticed diesel dripping rapidly down the back of the block. I drove home; about 5 minutes and popped the hood, looked down in the V with a light and my California emissions "spaceship" (pulse damper) has ruptured; fuel is spraying out from its seam.. Whats the quickest repair I can do?????? Can I remove it w the turbo on and plug it? Whats the protocol? Brad? Do I have options? I can PM someone my number to talk about it.. I have a full service shop at my disposal if I need it...

Remove it and plug it. There was just a thread on the subject of the spaceship, can't be far down.

Man that's awful. I have no experience with the Cali stuff, but here's a bump and a hope that you get it sorted out!
