Description of the problem	While driving on the interstate 35 i noticed smoking coming from my vehicle, as i pulled over the smoke become thick and rolled out from under the hood of my truck. I immediately open the hood to find diesel fuel covering the complete engine compartment and noticed fuel spraying from the number four fuel injection line. I am a mechanic so called dodge dealer to get new line (part #5086874-ac) for my cummins 5. 9 engine. After talking to the parts man he said this is a common problem and they have redesigned the clamping system on the line. I feel this is a very dangerous situation, when this line leaks it is under high pressure and sprays fuel all over the engine. I feel i was very lucky that the fuel did not ignite and burn up my truck. I would highly recommend owners are notified about the new line so they can replace it before it leaks.
