First time writing here, so hello to you all!
So a litte bit of background:
I've got an 1994 Chevy Suburban K2500 6.5td, lots of miles on it but drives still great. Bought it a few years ago to build an overlander. Have been in Norway and around the arctic region with it. Now the truck was standing in my backyard last winter, and about two weeks ago I tryed to fire it up. It didn't, and I found out that there was no diesel in the tank, so i put a little bit fuel in it, bleeded the fuel system, and the truck started, no problem.
Yesterday I went back to perform some kind of springcleaning, and noticed that the grass under the fuel tank is wet. Tried it and it is definitely diesel fuel. Now the fun part begins: There is under 10gallons of fuel in it, and the top of the tank is soaked. It is still dripping fuel, even there is no fuel so hight in the tank. The dripping rate is about one drop every 1-2 second. I haven't started the truck sense two weeks ago. So how can it be it is still leaking, and like I said, from the top.
So can it be that there its a problem with the sender unit? And if so, how can it be that it would be leaking so much fuel even the truck is not running? I took a few pictures for you to look at, hopefully somebody can help to solve that mystery.
It is a littlebit hard to get parts here in Finland, so that's why it would be better to know what to repair before I take everything apart, and trying to find parts here, or somebody willing to send them overseas.
