Hello,
While parked @ The local Jack-Onna-Box awaiting some brain i duced need by commercial bombardment Din-Din (that DogGone JalepenoRanch Tatert-tot bucket add finally got to me).
For the 1st time while operating the truck since installing the behind the axle BII fuel tank in the Ranger, I smelled fuel; ironically, also after my first time adding fuel to the tank from a gas station fuel pump, some potential fuel leak???
I get out, fire up the flashlight and look under the truck. Suprizingly, the asphalt in the parking lot under my truck is bone dry except for 2 small areas, currently being supplied by dripping fluids, from my vehicle.
First area is directly under the low pressure fuel filter bowl but it is water; just some stationary frame rail rain water from a recent rain. The second, directly under the FPR is fuel???
Oh crap I think but pop the hood, thankful to be parked, apporopriately dressed and have at least enough tools onhand to investigate it. I carefully examine the injectors, injector wells, upper intake valleys. They are all suspiciously bone dry. I follow the fuel supply line aft towards the FPR, then spot the culprit; the return line is DISCONNECTED!!!
As much as I'm shocked, I am also eased by finding a fault. I reconnect it by hand and ponder, how in the heck could this happen
