Subject:Fuel leaks/smell
From:Ezra Hall

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
