T300 spraying fuel from fuel line

[Nazzaroconstruction]

So I was using my t300 yesterday and everything was fine until i noticed some spots in the customers driveway I was working at, started smelling fuel as well. Got out opened the engine door and fuel was spraying from the third fuel line spraying out of the compression fitting. I tried to tighten it and it wouldn't budge. Anyone ever run into this or have any ideas? Thanks!

Ok so found what it was.....it was the rubber fuel line coming off the bottom of the T right next to the fuel lines! Has a pin hole in it. Anyone have any idea what size fuel line that is?

Is it just a rubber fuel line? or a high pressure line? If it's just rubber, take a sample to an auto store and get some new stuff.

It's just rubber fuel line, only about an inch long, just have to pop it off and take it with me to size it. Should be an easy fix

I would suggest changing all of the rubber fuel lines. If one of them is leaking now, it will not be much longer before anther one begins to leak. I'd suggest using rubber hose that is specific to diesel fuel. If you can take a small sample to your local diesel truck parts place, I think that they would have the stuff in stock.

Good point, might as well start going through it all. I'm going to take a piece with me to my local parts store and tell them it's gotta be for diesel.

This stuff isn't even fuel line, it's not the thick fuel line, it's pretty much just thin rubber hose.

has somebody.been in there? should be fuel line so yea replace it see what happens. somethining we often forget is at the end of the day all these units need do do is start run and make money. its easy to overcomplicate. we want factory conditions. but at the end of day what works works.
