Problems with 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER

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. *tr

The consumer experienced sudden acceleration in his 2005 dodge ram 2500 quad cab. *nm the consumer also stated the vehicle was becoming difficult to start, so he replaced the fuel filter. the consumer dropped the vehicle off at the dealer. the dealer informed the consumer, they could not get the vehicle started, because the fuel was contaminated with a fluid that was real dark. the consumer had the vehicle towed to another shop where he was then told there was a lot of rust in both manifolds and the head, but the fuel looked fine. the mechanic recommended the injectors be replaced. since the replacement of the injectors the vehicle is now drivable. *jb
