Subject:leaky ... gas tank!
From:Woody Halsey

Dear List,

I would appreciate any quick advice on this one, because I fear it is
dangerous.

The last two times I have filled my gas tank, there has been dramatic
leaking ... at least a quart or two pouring out from under the car. The
first time I just assumed that the attendant had "over-filled" (though that
had never happened before and common sense told me it should be
impossible). The second time made me think that there must be a leak
somewhere near the top of the tank, since a certain amount pours out and
then there is no further sign of dripping.

Has anyone had this problem? Where do I look to see what is going on? Is it
safe to repair a leak like this or am, I looking a new tank? Would it be
safe to take the old one from my parts car?

Thanks in advance to one and all!

Woody
