I have a '91 F350 7.3L with a Banks turbo. Original mileage is approx. 105K, turbo was put on by Banks about 20K mi. ago. I've recently noticed a fuel leak that's causing the bottom of the injector pump and the "pan" below it to be wet with fuel. At first I thought it was coming from the juncture where the front of the pump mates to the adapter housing. However, after reading KULTULZ reply (Sep. 2002) to a question from snowman re: a similar problem apparently caused by leaking (loose) fittings on the bottom injector pump lines, I wonder if this may be my problem also. The truck still runs fine, although it's become a bit harder to start in the AM. One mechanic told me the pump needed to be replaced. Do these symptoms sound like a pump in need of replacement or simply some loose fittings? Thanx for your replies.

Do you happen to have any pictures of the area wetted with fuel?

Sorry it's just hard to go by a discription over the internet. A picture seems to speak 1000 words.

Very possible for it to be leaking there. There are 9 lines there. you should be able to see it drip with the aid of a small mirror. Anytime there is a leak it can cause starting problems. Diesles don't like air in the fuel system.
