And...another one...fuel leak from le left side of the fuel tank...Not  the
pump, not the hoses and NO, not the fuel tank outlet... i suspect a  crack in
the FIBERGLASS tank..or maybe it's comming from the fuel sender  hole...not
sure....but some of you may remember that van...the Titanic  one:

Benny Boy, the fuel leak is most likely part of the  fuel sender which has
rusted away.  Sorry to say you gotta get the tank  outta there.  And, good luck
getting the nuts off the perimeter of the  sender without breaking one or more
of the studs.  If you break some you  can fix them as your quite ingenious !
    BTW, are you going to Tadusac next weekend ?   I'm leaving here, probably
with Marcus and Natilie, Friday afternoon  sometime.  I could meet up with
you outside Montreal.  Let me  know.
