I have a diesel truck. I noticed that I could smell fuel when the truck was idling. I checked underneath and notice a pool of fuel on the ground about midway back under the truck. I checked underneath and noticed the fuel line was leaking just before it entered the fuel cooler. The line had burst due to excessive rust.
