Spent 4 hours chasing a ghost leak on a 2016 Freightliner
Turned out to be a pinhole in the fuel return line I missed because it was hiding behind a zip tie. Anyone else waste a whole shift on something this dumb?

Wait, four hours sounds like a win to me honestly. @wyatt513, you ever had one of those jobs where you chase a leak for a whole two days and still don't find it? I'd take four hours and a pinhole behind a zip tie over some of the nonsense I've seen. Sometimes it's just a tiny speck of dirt or a crack you can't even see until you bend the hose a certain way. You probably saved yourself a ton of headache by catching it when you did instead of having it strand you on the road later.

Hah! Oh man, that's brutal. Four hours for a pinhole behind a zip tie? So you had to pull half the fuel lines just to find the stupid thing, right? What made you finally spot it, did you happen to see a tiny wet spot or did you just start squeezing every inch of rubber?
