You should never see fuel dripping after a fill up. You most likely have a
problem with one of the vent tubes on top of the tank. Not only should the
system hold fuel also the vapors. If fuel can get out rain water and debris
can also get in. over time rusty tank, failed pump and injectors become the
next step. Good maintenance practices include periodically testing the tank
and vapor recovery system for proper operation.

Peter, I read your blog where you wrote "replace your fuel lines".  What do
you mean?  I noticed that when I top off the gas tank, I immediately see a
drip of fuel occur behind the driver's side wheel.  My gas tank fills from
the passenger's side just behind the front passenger's side window.  The
drip goes on for hours but isn't reflected in the gas gauge going down.  The
drip then stops.

Nagging questions:  Did I overfill it?  Is this a sign of a broken fuel line
like you wrote?

Thx,
-g
