Dear List, I would appreciate any quick advice on this one, because I fear it is dangerous. The last two times I have filled my gas tank, there has been dramatic leaking ... at least a quart or two pouring out from under the car. The first time I just assumed that the attendant had "over-filled" (though that had never happened before and common sense told me it should be impossible). The second time made me think that there must be a leak somewhere near the top of the tank, since a certain amount pours out and then there is no further sign of dripping. Has anyone had this problem? Where do I look to see what is going on? Is it safe to repair a leak like this or am, I looking a new tank? Would it be safe to take the old one from my parts car? Thanks in advance to one and all! Woody |
