���I know this may be somewhere in the archives.���I have never found the
archives useable, so I am just List-asking straight out...

���My 84 has always had a slight gas odor after filling to the top...and
not just from the usual 'spitting-up' that frequently seems to happen when
you use the gas pump's auto shut-off feature...���I've just been 'living
with it' forever, thinking it was not so big a deal,� but I recently
noticed, after filling up, there was actually a small pool of gasoline
under my van, and more still dripping out....Dunno whether this has been
going on all along and I just noticed, or maybe the leak/overflow problem
is getting worse....but not that I've seen this, I want to take care of the
problem...

���Can someone point me to the fix for this problem, which I assume is
frequent with our older vans, rotting hoses, etc...Thanks
