Well, I think my tank has sprung a leak. I filled my 84 up with gas on saturday night, went and paid the bill and when I walked back to the van, gas is dripping from the tank. I looked underneath and gas was dripping from the back end of the tank, in the middle. I looked like the gas was dripping down from the top of the tank as well. Guesses on the source? I was sure it was a leak on the top of the tank, until I read the archives and guess it could also be a hose fitting on the top of the tank. What to do? I suppose the thing to do is wait till the tank is near empty and take the tank off and take a look. Is this a big enough pain that I will want to have spare gaskets to put on when I take the tank off? If the tank has a hole, has anyone had the tank succesfully patched by welding? How much should I expect to pay for a new/used tank? Thanks in advance Blake
