<< 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

 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?

theres a seal where your filler neck goes into the tank. the rubber rots.
common prob.  the one on your parts car is prolly just as bad.  replace the
seals.
