Subject:      Small gas leak
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hey group,

Recently, whenever I fill the gas tank all the way, it leaks. It's leaking enough I can't get a handle on exactly where it's coming from but it seems to drip from just underneath the center area of the van - just forward and slightly to the passenger side of center, actually.

This ONLY happens when I put more than 10-11 gallons in when the needle is *just* to the red. If I only put in 8-9 gallons or less, no problems.

Does anyone have any idea WHERE the leak might be happening?? I just can't tell. Where's a common area that might leak with this scenario? We did replace fuel lines a couple months ago and the ones I can see look good. I don't see any cracks or anything. I'm thinking it must be somewhere between the filler neck and the tank . . . ?

Be blessed, ~Annie
