Strong Fuel Smell, Help!

[Shep1824]

Lately I have noticed a fairly strong fuel smell coming from under the hood of my truck after I cut it off. It goes away after a minute or so but I have not noticed this before.

Also, when I am using my heat I can smell the fuel in my cab if I have it pulling air from outside. Does anybody have any idea what this may be?

Get a flashlight and look in your valley pan. There are a couple of fuel lines at your fuel bowl and 1 at each head. There is also a water drain on the bottom of the fuel bowl which can leak. It's a little yellow lever.

I just realized you don't have your sig filled out. This was all for the 7.3. I'm not that familiar with the 6.0.
