Yup, I remember this well. I once spent several hours trying to find a non-existent fuel leak which I knew HAD to be there because the coolant smelled of diesel fuel.  The old boy who owned the tractor had quite the laugh when he heard of the problem I was chasing. Took me a couple of years to live it down.
