and you can already tell its not from the drain plug? it might need a new washer. i recently replaced mine… i used a torque wrench to ensure that it was tight enough but not to overtighten to fuk up the tank… 36 lbs i believe
Hi guys have the same problem don’t mean to thread jack but i was able to find it by grabbing a rag and rubbing off where the drip was. After I did that the pinholes started allowing fuel to flow out. After emptying the tank i sanded it and that one whole became 3 tiny ones. Now I’m debating I don’t really want to drop the tank afraid of getting other leaks from the lines not something I want to deal with in the cold. I did find some like clay thing at autozone that supposedly would plug up the holes. Any recommondations or should I just bite the bullet and buy a new tank?
the actual leak itself was from the gas tank. it was rusted along a seam, so i dropped it and had a new tank sent to me. while it was dropped i replaced all the lines and hoses and acquired new bolts too. problem solved.
replacing all these fuel components also solved another problem i had with the car bogging randomly while in gear under load. i supposed air was getting in the lines or it wasn’t getting enough fuel. either way, two birds with one stone.
thanks for the help everybody, it was a pretty simple task, just time consuming.
