so i noticed the other day a lite fuel smell around my truck i looked at the fuel rail and injectors, where i had a lot o leaks recently. everything was dry and i didn't smell it in the engine bay so i thought i was being paranoid again. any way i walk near my truck and noticed a definite fuel smell i traced it down to some where on top of the tank it's leaking and dripping down. so is there any accses under the carpet or do i need to drop the tank? is this a common thing? And how do i replace fuel line is it like brake line where you just patch a piece in with flared compression fittings.

 

Check your filler pipe. Mine is leaking too right above the tank. I havent done it yet, but i dont think it will be that bad to replace. Hopefully wont even have to drop the tank. But I'm not positive, has anyone done this?

 

You can tighten the filler neck without dropping the tank,but it's easier with a BL.

 

would that only leak on a full tank?

 

Mine leaks pretty bad as I am filling it, then smells for a while after I have put gas in it.

 

mine was leaking park on a hill with a full tank i don't know where it came from yet i noticed it dripping off of the bash plate after sitting for a day so there's no way there should have been pressure left in the line if the line leaking. So i'm hopeing it's just the filler neck
