I have a 2005 F150 Lariat Supercrew. I recently started up the engine and had a large volume of fuel pour onto the ground just below the engine.

I don’t see any issue with the fuel tank, the fuel line from the tank or the future filter.

Any suggestions on what the problem could be? Running out of ideas.

Thanks.

 

Sounds like a fuel rail problem lots of orings on injectors or gasket bad on fuel rail pressure sensor . fuel rails not hard to pull . put all new orings on, use motor oil to reinsert . Its a good test to pull fuel rails and leave injectors sticking out with key on to make sure none drip .

 

I forgot to say . Sometimes the fuel rail sensor Diaphragm can go bad as it is vacuum assist . but then it would have to eat rubber hose to leak like that. It usually causes a very rich mixture and floods out engine . Sometimes the oring gasket will leak on rail after being disturbed .

 

Obviously a fuel pressure leak in the engine area. Have somebody turn the key on while you watch shouldn't be hard to find. Oh, do not start the engine!
