Help Needed Puking Fuel!!!!

[Fireman]

Hey folks me again,

Long story short, leaked 3/4 of a tank in 7 miles. When I saw the leak at a stop sign with truck running, it looked like someone was pour fuel over the motor an letting it stream down to ground. Any ideas? I swear this truck will be the death of me.

WOW! That is not good! Did your truck run funny? Like it was starving for fuel? Is your fuel bowl drain open?

ran fine, only difference was running late for class im in, it dint warm up for usual amount of time.

first thought would be the return fuel thingy on the back of the fuel filter
it has a soft rubber half an oring plug thing in it. its very cheesy and is designed for not alot of pressure....
if i remember right its a 3/4 or 5/8 flare nut

Your going to have to tell us where it was coming from. I have seen bad or improperly fitted fuel bowl orings spray like a fire hose.
