I'm sorry if this is posted somewhere else but I am new to this forum and couldn't find the right thing. I was driving my 97 Disco suddenly smelled fuel. Pulled over and there was a trail of fuel but it stopped after the engine was shut off. Also, when it is starting it has a bit of a hesitation at first. Any ideas? Fuel pump? Thank you.

 

Turn the key to Position II and find your leak!!

 

Good idea. Thank you!

 

If its coming from the rear then likely to be a hose on the fittings to the pump, they crack with age.
