Anyone have any tricks to "find" where the fuel is coming from in side the engine. It's getting about 1" to 1.5" in 2000 miles. I believe that may be about 3 quarts.

I have not pulled anything off yet but have done some research. I will check all of the injector lines and the high pressure pump lines. I priced the High pressure pump and sure don't want to go OE on the one. $2947.

I have yet to find one of the injector lines leaking in side or sensor. For us it has been high pressure pump. And even the junk remans that are out there we put in and still leaked. Have 1 bus that's on its 4th high pressure pump. The best one currently we have found is the 1 from the dealer. With the price increases on parts and there quality luckly we haven't bought a single IC since 2012. The maxxforce 7 SAGA continues on for 2 more years if they make it???

I'm in that same boat brother. We stopped buying IC buses because of the Maxx Farce issues among other things.

The OEM pump kit for me is $2974. I got quote one from Alant Power for $1924.

I would hate to spend that much and not solve the smoking issues with the bus. I know it would probably take care of the fuel leak.
