this_is_greg Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) While tracking down a fuel line leak I found the spalsh guard on the drivers side was very rusty. The parts manual calls this the engine dust pan. This part bolts to the frame and extends over to the oil pan. Looking to buy one in good condition. Sorry about the picture, it's the best I can do right now. I'll try to get it out for better pictures. Also, what I believe is the original fuel line has a tiny leak. It looks like the fuel line is one piece from the tank to the fuel pump. It follows the frame rail to the front, across below the radiator, then along the fuel rail to the fuel pump. Unfortunately the leak is at the 90 degree bend (yellow arrow in picture) where the line goes across the front of the truck. How much disassembly is required to remove the fuel line. It doesn't look too easy to get it out, and a new one back in, in one piece. It gurgles when running and drips after shutdown for a short period. It leaves about a 10" spot on the cardboard I laid down. Edited August 8, 2023 by this_is_greg (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Take your engine pan to a good sheet metal shop with a laser. They can make you a new one. I would splice the fuel line somewhere, would not replace the whole thing unless needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KURTRUK Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Replace the whole line. Of course, I'm not the one doing the work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
