Subject:      Fuel leaks/smell
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Since purchase last Sept, we have had a gasoline smell problem after fill up, especially when filling the tank all the way. I see the filler neck leaks towards the opening, so that needs replacement or repair. However, even after driving for a couple of hours, gas can be smelled when the doors are opened. I assume I need to drop the tank to find the source of the leak. I would like to minimize down time, are there common seals that need replacement so I can order prior to dropping the tank? Hopefully we don't have rust holes on the top of the tank... Other than the filler neck, there are no visible leaks from below. Thanks, Ezra Hall www.together.net/~ehall '88 westy, Automatic
