Hello I have a 2000 f-250 7.3 I smell fuel and know its leaking somewhere fuel on the back of the motor. Any suggestions on where to start looking. In need of help. Thanks.
okay thanks a lot I looked down in the valley of the motor and can see the fuel laying in the valley. I think that looks to be the problem. Thanks a lot in going to put that part on later tonight.
Also check your fuel line fitting to the bowl and heads. I had my drain valve leaking and after I fixed the leaking bowl it was leaking out of the line that goes into the heads.
Ford sells a nice kit for the orings to do all the lines for $25.
Or Bob over at dieselorings has a total fuel bowl rebuild kit and the orings for the heads. He is where I got the orings for my truck

Don't overlook the simple either. I chased a leak for a while and it turned out to be the cap on the fuel bowl had cracked. Was giving a thin stream down and was really hard to see until it got really bad and coated the underside of my hood.
that's the problem that I am having. found that the o-ring for the passenger side fuel delivery line was no good. I got the line out of the back of the head no problem, but getting it back in is another story. anyway to tighten the line back up without taking down the down pipe?
Dieselorings sells the kit that is unreal. I rebuild my fuel bowl 4 years ago with their parts. Dry as a bone ever since.
