So has anyone had there gastank leak after a fill up? Well i filled up got the car all ready for the worcester summer nationls. I come home wait for a rainstorm to end before i head out... I go to leave and i got a real strong odor of gas so my first thought i just filled it up.. Well i look under it and son of a ***** ...puddle of gas on the floor. So i wipe it up pull it outside. So i drove and burnt the gas out just keept driving it around ...So luckily im buying my buddys tank that is real clean with a brand new trick flow fuel pump.....So i gotta empy that tank in a few days .... And replace mine and do some undercoating while the tank is out.....anyone who cares to read this give me your thoughts:SNSign:

Thank tank grommet leaking (where the filler enters the tank) is common. You can lose half a tank of gas in short order.
