tbrand Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 So, took my truck in today to get a new muffler, finally. The guy took one look under it and says they won't work on it till they track down the gas leak, that I didn't know I had. I looked under the truck, and saw was these streaks on the tank, which I didn't notice a few weeks ago when I did the oil change, so I assume they're new. What are some common culprits or diagnosis tips? There are no constant drips or anything that I can see.
cody4359 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 bad seal at the fuel pump, rusted thru fuel line at the neck.
4X4COMANCHE Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 i believe there are return lines that go to the top of the tank
tbrand Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Lemme guess - I need to drop my tank to effectively check those items? :wall:
cody4359 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 its be helpful. or clean the tank off, then fill it and drive around for a little then check for runs/drips. but if you found your problem that way youd be stuck with a full tank
tbrand Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 There's a possibility I lucked out - looks like the hose clamp on the fuel filter had come just a little bit loose. Will double check tomorrow - thanks for the suggestions guys! Knew I could count on you.
Exgrayxj Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Looks like it was blowing back onto the tank, much easier to tighten it than replace tank. Curse you and your clean rust free frame... I'm jealous. ;)
