Subject:      Where's my fuel tank leaking from?!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


When I fill my fuel tank, I smell gasoline.
I looked down there and find fuel dripping (slowly) off the driver's
side.  It stops dripping after a while.


Question is: Do these tanks ever leak in the tank proper or only in the
fittings up on the top?


Clues on diagnosing this and fixing or replacing?


New little Westy is costing money but it _will_ get better!


I ordered a new propane tank and radiator yesterday.  I may need to
order a new fuel tank, too.


I hope I can get it rolling good in time for the Susquehanna Valley
Vanagon Club gathering at the end of this month!


Thanks again for all the help taking care of my new hobby! :)


Scott
