Hiya and Welcome to Stangnet!

You are ABSOLUTELY allowed to post pictures here. Gear heads generally have pretty short attention spans so pictures are always great!


What you likely need to fix that problem can be found on the page linked below:

Holler if you have any more questions.

Welcome!

And if it is indeed the grommet leaking, this may help you replace it.

Rear through it, and understand that you might need to at least slightly drop the tank to remove the fuel filler neck.

Also I just found out that Autozone sells Dorman replacement grommets now $18.97. I just had to replace mine because I was getting a gas smell outside the car stankin up my garage. Last time I needed one no auto jobbers carried them and I had to go to the dealer at 35 bucks. The Dorman piece looks well made to me.
