Description of the problem	Driving home from work i noticed a strong smell of diesel fuel in the cab, looking in the rearview mirror i noticed that all the cars behind me had slowed down to a distance of approx. 300 feet and white smoke trailing behind the truck. When i had the chance i pulled over in a store parking lot and exited the cab to see fuel pouring out under my truck and white smoke coming out from the left front wheel well. I had the truck towed to closest dodge dealer where they discovered the number 4 injector line had ruptured and coated the whole engine bay. They also indicted that i was lucky that this did not cause a fire or possibly an accident from the fuel spilling on the roadway. While reading a cummins forum online i have discovered this to be a fairly common problem.
