i have a 1995 f350 one of the first years of the power stroke,mine has a mechanical pump i had a few small leaks at the fuel pump in the valley of the engine,if the leak is small enough the fuel will smell and evaporate,also check your fuel filter housing these things are seapers,once again not enough to make a mess but enough to smell,check the fuel lines on the motor they rust and leak also down to the braided lines off of the frame rails the newer trucks 2001 and up have the electric fuel pump,
i have a 5 speed i can get 20-21 mpg empty 13-14 towing,i tow about 9000 lbs 24ft enclosed trailer

good luck gmonde
