6.0 fuel smell

[whiteduty]

We have a smell of fuel from the engine compartment, but no noticeable leaks. I was wondering if anybody has any ideas. There is moisture around the fuel filter but it is not wet.

wait until it's dark, then go searching the engine compartment with a good flashlight. The daytime is the wrong time to search....Ambient light makes it hard to see...You should be able to see alot more...That's how I found my leak.....

A wet fuel filter is diesel fuel on the outside of the filter, just not a lot. This maybe your fuel smell.
