Archived 03 leaking fuel from rear of fuel filter housing

[JGrammatico]

Hello there. My truck, 2003 ram (all stock fuel system), is leaking diesel from behind the fuel filter housing/lift pump area. I think it might be the fuel line going to it but I did not have enough time to really get in there and investigate. The truck has 91000 miles on it. Could the hoses be bad or something worse?? Can someone give me a heads up on a potential fix? I am gonna be tackling this on saturday.



Happy Memorial Day to everyone and Thank You to all of our Guys and Gals in uniform.

Check your fuel filter! the top cap could be leaking at the gasket! IT could have ben crosse threaded! That would the first thing I would check---BEN

Thanks Ben. I will do that. I printed out the fuel system chapter from the shop manual so I have that ready if need be.

It may be the fuel pump,it is mounted on the back side of the filter housing. I have seen this many times.
