Where is it leaking? Most common place is the big O-ring. You can get them from the dealer pretty cheap and get the new design locking ring as well. IIRC it only cost me $6 for both.

here is what i have-- fuel leaking at 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 and less. not from the o ring. it is dry up there. and then sometimes no leaks at all when full. i could see full making the o ring leak, or the filler neck leak.
then my pump went out today. 0 psi fuel pressure. i ll check the relay in the morning. 2 weeks ago i had the rubber hose come off the metal line on the pump and put it back on and had been working fine till today. running down the street and just ran out of fuel. read 1/2 tank, added more and no love. checked pressure and 0 psi.

i ll check in the morning to see if the hose came off again and to see if teh pump is running first of all.if i hear the pump run i am assuming the hose is off again. i ll check for power at the pump too.

If you end up needing a tank, I have 2-3 of them. $25

thanks, i got it running again. i lamed out....the plug on the pump came undone. clicked it and back in action. but i still have my fuel leak to sort out. so i may well hit you up for one of your tanks.
thanks for the reply!

well for the saving me from to much crap theme, i am going to buy a new tank and a new pump. that way i am good from the tank all the way up to the pressure regulator.
Yella thanks for your offer.
and Old Man too.

This stuff really works. We use to use in on motorcycle gas tanks all the time.
