Fuel Leak

Driving home last night... started smelling diesel. Thought it was from my boots, but the smell got stronger and stronger. Pulled in the drive way, opened the hood and bam. 3-4' spray shooting from one of the hard lines on top. Looks like a ferrel nut connection... Towed to shop last night. 1st real problem with the truck since I bought it in 2005. I guess something had to give..

Anybody else had this problem? Probably should just change all the lines, looks like injector lines??

If it was the number 4 injector line i have seen threads about a clip thats not tight on it. This gets loose causing the line to vibrate and crack.
