saturday morning i started my 93 just to let it run. later that day i was going to drive it and when i turned the ignition over it wouldn't start. my friend then noticed gasoline coming out from the rear end side. i haven't had a chance to look at it since i got busy, but what would you think it is? i thinking the fuel filter hose came loose, but i changed it a few months ago i the stang was fine. never seen this before.

The tank grommet is likely (where the filler goes into the tank). They're a POS.

Unless you were parked on a funky incline, the tank shouldn't have drained down so far as to keep the car from starting however.

Good luck.

Since you just payed with the high
pressure hoses, I would
suspect that first.

I got new locking clips for mine from NAPA and the
"O" type plastic
clip from Advance Auto

I had a stang with a leaky gromet like Hissin mentioned. I also had another stang that developed a bad seam.
