On a recent cruise accross San Pablo Bay, the Three Jeans developed a severe fuel leak in a hose on its Cummins 6BT engine. The hose that leaked was a Cummins hose as installed on the engine by Cummins and might be a common point of failure on all 6BT engines. Check out this description of the failure and fix by clicking here. Then take a look at your engine!
