Last camping trip, SO got a headache from fuel fumes, so decided I better track this down... dove under the car last night was pretty obvious where the smell was coming from, there's a little rubber grommet/widget in the bottom of the center of the fuel tank, it's about 1 1/4 inches in diameter and appears to poke through the fuel tank right in the middle of what looks like a depressed sump kind of area. There were a few markings on it, but all I could make out was something like "EZ-Seal... " Anyway, it was moist with gasoline, and after wiggling it a bit, it started a slow drip (so don't wiggle it, right, too late now... doh!). So what is this widget, is there anything that can be done to stop the leak, or is it new gas tank time? Any advice appreciated, need to deal with this safety hazard asap, thanks Lloyd Vancouver, Canada '84 1.9 Vgon "Moby"... drip, drip, drip, boom?
