I guess I got a little to into driving the Dmax LBZ with the bully dog the last 2 weeks and havent even started the old cummins till today. I have had the normal small leaks from the IP but I was surprised today when I saw fuel leaking from the bottom of the LP. Its a drip every few seconds, and doesnt seem to be cominf from the supply or return lines. I watched the oil level and it seems to be clean and diesel free. What could be wrong with my LP?

Clean it up good, you'll figure out where it's from. If it's the original pump it doesn't owe you anything.

I have a new LP already but it looks a little bigger. Like the diaphram part is the same diameter but taller. Its a carter brand, not sure if its a good one or not, I got it new a few years back for my old 89'

Thats all right cuz your right about that one too. lol

The LP was leaking out the weep hole in the bottom so I guess the thing was on its way out. I got the new one in there. I swear too, I'm tired of these 19 year old Orielleys master technicians that tell me fuel line is luel line, and there is no such thing as diesel fuel line. Tried explaining it to him so maybe he wouldnt BS the next guy but all I got was a deer in the headlights look.
