I've got gas
 

Of course I've been procrastinating that little fuel
smell that comes from the quick disconnect that seeps
a bit every now and then.

Till today I pull into work and get that OOF! gas!
smell. Pop the hood, and sure as ---- that little
bugger is running a constant stream of fuel down
on the intake manifold. I pack it off with some
towel and wait till the rail pressure goes down.

Though it doesn't look like the connector is at fault.
It looks more like the fuel hose used to splice the
connector to the boosters fuel pressure regulator
developed cracks. Thankfully I keep a replacement
quick-connect and hose in the toolbox. Replaced it
at lunch and everything is back to "normal".

Except that and I feel strangely full

And my shorts, can't find them.

Hi Doug,
Normal maintenance, just like replacing your windshield wipers.
Every professional driver performs by law a visual inspection of his rig
thumping his tires and reaching and pulling his slack adjusters, etc.,
etc., and signs it off. You did check your oil before you started on
your trip, right?
