Went for a ~15 mile ride on my M1030M1 diesel motorcycle yesterday. It was a great ride until I discovered that diesel fuel was spraying all over the engine. I made it back home and attempted to find the leak. It appears that one of the rubber fuel lines has ruptured, which is a good thing because I can easily access the suspect line and replace it. However, there is so much diesel fuel all over everything that I need to clean it up to make certain which line I need to replace. The rubber line I think has failed looks to be in good condition, but looks can be deceiving. I initially shut the fuel petcock off, but had to turn it back on to try and see where the fuel was coming from. Made a mess on the garage floor. Other than the leak, the bike ran fantastic. I always get a lot of strange looks when I ride the bike because of the appearance and the sound of the diesel engine.![Diesel Leak.JPG Diesel Leak.JPG](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/560/560370-221c15c8fcbb657f772e487633746e5a.jpg)
