Running the gen set I have had a strong smell of diesel fuel.I used
baby powder to find the leak(a great idea).I was going to replace the
injector pump but I found the leak in the shaft of the shut off
lever.The shaft nut was loose.There is a seal under this lever,I
tightened the nut 8 mm and the leak stopped.Hope this helps.Lee

some times it pays to replace the brass washers. 8 mm wrenches are
short length for a reason. small nut =less stress needed to strip
thread. I learned the hard why to pay attention to inch pound and
footpound specs.
some of the return lines have a path that require mateing a washer and
a hollow cup over the injector. an interupted path can cause pressure
buildup at places where minimal tightness is all that is required.
CurtS hade issues with his injector return lines several years ago
that I could never understand how they caused shutdown since it was a
returnline after the fact??????
One other great way to find a leaking part is using light blue toilet
paper. turns dark when wet
