i've crawled under the car and i cant seem to find were the leak is coming from, i belive that its coming fromt he filler neck to tank seal because everytime i fill up then take a right turn the smell gets alot worse like the gas is sloshing over to the left side were you fill the tank.
Do any of you know of a common problem with the gas tanks? i just replaced the gas cap, because the one i had was a really crappy aftermarket locking cap, but that didnt work.
thanks for all the help

 

Light a match and drop it near the car ... you'll find the leak.

 

that should get rid of the leak problem too, youd have no more car to have a leak.

 

I have the same problum with my gas tank....With my car i got a hole at half tank i though it was at the filler neck to but its right at half tank...If you look under your car by the tank ( IF THERE IS A HOLE IN THE TANK ) there should be a cleanish-oliy spot in the tank...IF NOT.look under the hold car and feel and smell around...You might find it you might not good luck

 

thanks for the help, the smell goes away when it gets below a half tank

 

Yeah, often times tanks will begin leaking somewhere around the seam joining the top and bottom half together ... I had this happen to my '96 Sunfire, and we've had it on a couple pickup trucks before too. Since welding a patch on a gas tank isn't just a simple welding job (for obvious reasons) then you're probably better off looking for a new tank (if, in fact, that is what's leaking).

 

I was talkin to my boss and he said 9 times out of 10 its where the 2 part come together...Your just better off getting like a new tank and if i was you depending on how bad its rusted( if rusted at all...) i would get a new pump ( if you got the kind thats in the gas tank
