Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VP44 Leaking really bad

[Jerry J]

Just went thru 15 gallons of fuel in about 25 miles. The truck all of a sudden lost power, thought I had a turbo problem. Stopped and then started back rolling and it was fine. Stopped again and saw fuel leaking really bad out of the front of the pump area. The pump is about 2 years old, maybe 8 k on it. Is it possible for a pump to leak or is it most likely a line connection. Haven't pulled anything off yet, just kicked the starter to fire up the pump and fuel is spraying out somewhere in the front. Anyone have an idea on what this might be?

Most likely just one of the two fuel lines on the side. Unless you've upgraded to different fuel lines/fittings, they should be banjo fittings which can only be torqued to 18 lbs because they're hollow. So if they're leaking, check them for tightness. If they're tight and leaking then you may have to take them off and see if the bolt seal is OK. If its not the banjos then you may want to post a picture of the leak because I have no idea what else it could be.
