Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Found fuel tank leaking...

[joel]

My driveway has a decent slope to it and after filling up the truck yesterday on the way home from work, I parked in the driveway, back end down, overnight. This afternoon, I noticed not a small amount of fuel leaking from the tank. I moved it down to the street and wiped down the tank, so we'll see what happens.



When looking around under there, I noticed the cover/line port is really dirty and oily. I'm wondering if any of my lines are compromised with the crap; fuel guage lines (it's never really worked right), vent... even fuel and return lines?



I guess when I run this tank down, I'll drop it and clean it all out. Anyone seen this before?

Given the circumstances I bet it was just coming out the overflow on top of the tank, I have overfilled my tank 2 times with my aux tank and it spills all over the tank, try this , wash it down good and then keep an eye on it before you tear into it.

Also stop at the dealer and look at one that has no bed on it you will see what I mean... ... ... ... ... . Kevin
