Fuel Leak

[stevek]

I've had my truck the better part of three weeks now and have what appears to be a leak coming from the sender area on the fuel tank. The truck is in incredibly clean shape and is still under warranty but I would really like to pin the problem down before I take it in to expidite things. Here's some background on the problem--My first fill up I put in 27gallons and drove roughly two miles, no leak. My next one I was busy talking to the counter guy getting coffee when I noticed fuel everywhere. Seems the pressure cutoff on the pump was broken and did not shut off--put 42gallons into the truck and on the ground. Did not really drip past that. Next fill up I put about 30gallons in as it was at a quater of tank, drive 30miles home and the next morning there was a small puddle under the truck and you could see it dripping from the tank. My fourth fill up was the same and its still dripping after 78miles on that tank of diesel. Everything seems tight when I reach up there by hand. Any ideas? Is this a major problem or just a nusance?
