I parked over at Truck World in Hubbard, Ohio last night and went inside to have dinner & a few beers before going to bed for the night.
When I was walking toward my truck I noticed a puddle of fuel under the engine. I thought the fuel filters may have loosened up, so I tried to tighten them- they were OK.
I called my company's Road Maintenance Department & they called the T/A in Youngstown, OH to come out & look at it- the service truck was there in 15 minutes.
Their mechanic also tried to tighten the filters, and then noticed where some fuel lines had rubbed together near a fuel filter, and rubbed a hole in one of them, causing the leak.
He had both the lines my truck needed with him in the service truck, and changed them out in very little time.
That's what I call "Git'n 'Er Dun"!
I'm sure it was a slow night for that particular T/A shop, but most of them NEVER respond that fast when called.
