What owners wrote
Fuel line leak. Two steel fuel lines were rubbing against each other causing a fuel leak. This is a diesel pick up and the fuel system is reported at 28,000 psi operation pressure. This resulted in a leak of diesel fuel that sprayed onto the exhaust system, which can reach temperatures in excess of 1400f causing a fire hazard. The problem manifested as a strong raw fuel smell in the cab causing an inhalation hazard. This was followed by small stains in my parking spot.
While driving on the interstate, we came to a stop at a gas station. When at a complete stop we started smelling diesel fuel, I assessed the vehicle under the hood and under the truck. It was raining that day so I couldn't tell if anything was leaking from the under carriage. While driving the remaining two hours of our trip, off the interstate, we came to a red-light, while making the right turn the truck got sideways in the intersection.
