description: 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. *TR
