Sounds like the gas lines above your tank (there are many) have rotted
away.  Buy Ken Wilford's gas line repair kit at www.vanagain.com and
follow the instructions in the kit.  You're looking at a full days work of
dropping the tank and replacing the lines and seals.  Replace your engine
fuel lines too with Ken's kit if they have'nt been replaced in teh last 10
years.

good luck,
Andrew Fox
