Long trip results+Fuel leak
Wow, This truck needed a good hard long ride. After 700 miles one way of hauling a heavy truck, I was amazed at how well it ran. My idle changed quite a bit(smoother) and any injector type of knock, is gone.
After getting to my dad's, I wanted to crank the fuel down a tad for mileage, and I noticed a fuel leak at the pump inlet metal line. It had sprayed on the battery and on the side of the engine. I tried to tighten it, and gave it a lil bit, but it didnt stop the leak. It just slowed it some. Still managed 21 MPG pulling my equipment trailer. Is there a replacement part #, or does anyone have a cheap fix?
Thanks

Cummins are made to run, and they like it.
I drive a few hours out of my way daily just to let my baby drive up a nice, long, steep hill for a few minutes. These engines love running at full power. Best thing you can do for them.
I hope it cancels out all of the surging I do to the poor engine...
