| 2002 ford f250 superduty. consumer writes in regards to a strong diesel fuel odor and finding fuel on the passenger side of the engine compartment in the cab of the vehicle. the dealer informed the consumer, the diesel engine was designed with copper sleeves or cups around the fuel injectors. the purpose of the cups were to separate the engine cooling system from the pressurized fuel system. over a period of time, the engine coolant reacted with the copper cups and created small pin holes or cracks in the injector cups. since the fuel system was pressurized it injected diesel fuel into the coolant circulating in the engine. eventually the diesel fuel came out of the radiator overflow and all over the passenger side of the engine compartment. since there was no way to tell, which injector cup was bad, all of them would have to be replaced along with the coolant hoses and the radiator would need to be flushed. the engine would have to be taken apart, the heads would have to be removed and the injector cups replace. | |||

| When i took my truck in for service, the auto tech noticed a fuel leak near the fuel filter. agreeing with the tech that the leak was from the filter, i took the truck home and replaced the fuel filter. on inspection of the filter after installation, the truck still continued to leak fuel. i determined that the leak was coming from a fuel return line, at a point where the line is held in place by a metal tab. i took the truck in to the repair shop, where the employees agreed that the leak occurred from the metal tab wearing a hole in the fuel return line. the repair then involved replacing the entire fuel line assembly (which includes brake, fuel, and any other lines that run from the engine to the rear of the vehicle) available only from a dealer. the old lines are available if they are needed. *nm | |||
