Diesel leak in lower compartment

[timvasqz]

Diesel to the aquahot burners?? You may want to just re plumb the
fuel line to the aqua hot and not look for the leak. I have uses
plastic airlie to make a diesel fule line repair on a skid steer
tractor 8 years ago to a line exposed to great heat and a common
repair replace item. the line is still flexablie and secure. plastic
airline is way cheap and very strong.
