| Diesel Fuel System problems |
Smelled diesel fuel like odor when I opened the hood at home, but I did not see any problem. Traveled to work (15 miles) and left a pool of diesel in the parking lot. Fuel was streaming from behind the oil pan. Idiot smoking threw a cigarette in the fuel and managed to start a small fire that I extinguished with an extinguisher from work before it burned the truck. I opened the message boards at home and it turns out that all of the diesel Excursions are affected. A bracket is rubbing the passenger side fuel line and wears through causing fuel to pour out over the hot motor and header. Fuel line replaced after tow.
