No doubt, those old rings are stiff and deformed.  At least you’ll be faster this time! ;-)

It's flowing from the center of the tank under the van. I'm still betting it's the fuel sender o-ring.

Fill neck grommet?  I think you can replace that without dropping the tank.

Crap.

So this morning I went to fill it up, full of confidence, full of hope, only to have the gas station attendant say: You've got a massive leak.

That's not a leak, that's a *WATERFALL OF GAS*.

Ugh.. Back to the garage to lower the tank again and see what happened.
