Save it for St Davids Day.

Have you been using veg oil? Check the top seals of the fuel pump.

yes 100% veg oil !

Thats probably the reason then. try whacking some diesel in and see if it stops it. you could go down the route of adding atf to swell the seals ONLY as a temporary measure. you need to get the seal kit from milners for about a tenner (i think) and get the seals changed, if your truck is an EFI then do it your self easy peasy, do a search for a link of a step by step guide. If its a non-EFI then pay someone else to do it unless your a diesel mechanic cos its a right pain in the ass! i did mine and took me ages of fiddling to get it right, its still not perfect but much much better! oh and no leak.

Good luck getting it sorted.

Aye, that'll do it.

can any one help me locate the fule pump, i no nowt about diesel's

also whats this atf stuff ? where could i get it ?

[da SLUG man]

automatic transmission fluid...

get it from auto factors

Fuel pump is low on the right hand side of the block, towards the front when you look from the front of the vehicle. It'll be obvious cos it'll be covered with veg oil!

its not coverd in oil,

it seems it only ####es out when the engine is cold ! ive toped up well with diesel butit seems its still seeping out some where,

can i also ask about this ATF thingy, how would i go about doing it, if i do it and its still leeking then ill know it will be a fule pipe.

Putting a couple of litres of ATF in the tank can help swell the pump seals on a temp basis, it worked for me for a few months.

dose it have to be auto fluid i have full bottle of manual fluid

also what WT (watt) dose it have to be

[The Lang-Shankit Scunner]

it takes a couple of weeks on diesel to swell the seals again, but what i did once they sealed again is mix a bit of unleaded with veg oil before putting it in, i now run 40% diesel 50% oil 10% unleaded, that is 10% to the oil ratio, makes it leaner and not much force is needed thusly reducing leak risk
