Description of the problem	While driving home from work friday the #4 fuel tube that comes from the fuel bar and goes into the injectors started leaking causing diesel to leak over my entire motor and undercarriage of vehicle. I drove the vehicle about 20 miles as i did not know there was a leak. I could see smoke coming from what i thought was my exhaust behind the truck but then noticed my fuel gage started going down quickly and when i made it home smoke started coming from under hood. An extreme amount of smoke. About 10 gallons of diesel was leaked out. This could have ignited and / or exploded causing serious injury or death to myself and surrounding vehicles / homes. I was able to find the leak and purchased replacement part from my local dodge dealership. The parts department told me the #4 tube, which is the one i replaced, was very common to leak. If this is very common... Something should be done. If one tube is common to leak all others are questionable as well. The part cost me $52. 60 plus labor to change.
