Subject:Leaky gas tank fix?
From:Jon Joyce
Date:Fri, 14 Jun 2002 22:59:18 -0500

I noticed a fairly strong gasoline smell emanating from my '81 tonight,
several hours after filling the tank. I crawled underneath, and sure enough,
there was a wet area on the bottom of the gas tank. It's still fairly small
and not dripping at all, but I assume it will only get worse. It looks to be
leaking from the seam on the side parallel with the nose of the van. What
course of action should I take? I seem to recall seeing this discussed
previously on the list; is it a common malady? It also looks like it should
be fairly easy to drop the tank... of course, I just put 15 gallons of gas
in it. Any help would be much appreciated-
