Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Leak at fuel filler hose - biodiesel?

[RyanStewart]

I've got a fuel leak where the fuel filler neck connects to the tank. It also looks like the fuel vent hose right next to it is leaking too. Fuel runs down the side of the tank but nothing gets on the ground except when I fill up, and then it drips pretty good. I've been running B15 for about 3 months now, could this be what caused the leak? I though '94 and up were supposed to have fuel lines that were compatible with biodiesel. Should I be worried about the rest of the fuel system?

Check your vent hose sounde like it came loose and is below the upper level of the tank.

Check from the fuel door down for rust holes in the vent tube and filler neck. That is where mine leaks.

I wouldn't worry about the fuel, I have about 50-60K on 20% and have not seen any soft hoses yet. This is over about 4 years so they have had time. I have a leak, but it is th efill neck and right now the only time I have a problem is when I fill at the high flow pumps and it will back up into the fill neck.
