Clean the area real good so there is no residue, then bump the starter to engage the LP for it's 30 second cycle and watch real close to see where it is coming from.



Probably a loose banjo bolt or a bad o-ringed washer. Might me the # 5 or 6 injector line/nut on the head, or a loose fitting on the return line.

Agree with the #5/#6 injector lines.



I had the same problem. Fuel all around the filter/lift pump area, dripping down off of bell housing and fuel lines near frame.

Mine developed a leak at the filter housing due to the heater plug burning through. I t would only leak with the engine runnning. Fuel ran down the housing and dripped onto frame--what a mess!

If you are seeing mist, or wetness develop around a large area with the truck running, then you may have a cracked injector line. BE NUMBER ONE CAREFUL WITH YOUR HANDS IN THERE WHEN THE TRUCK IS RUNNING! Risk of fuel injection into your skin.



Take a sheet of construction paper and hold it close to each of the lines with the truck running to verify. When the fuel hits the paper it will absorb it and turn dark (wet) rather quick so you can see where it is coming from.
