2003 Ford F250 fuel line cracked and fuel began pouring onto the engine and the exhaust. Consumer was in a rain storm and wheels were throwing up enough water to prevent a fire. No engine lights or gauges came on, just seeing all the smoke alerted consumer. The consumer looked under the vehicle and saw a puddle of diesel fuel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician noticed that a clamp holding the steel line was the culprit. They informed the consumer that they had seen several with the same problem. The consumer believes the fuel line should be re-routed or replaced with a line that can resist fatigue.
