fuel line leaking
Hiya,
This is probably gonna sound like a silly question,,but when i put fuel into the van after a few minutes of filling up it seems to start dripping from underneath ( closet to the engine),and on occasions it drips from the other side of the fuel tank.At first i thought it my be a issue with the actual fuel lines.
After discussing it with my dad and getting a few pointers from him,i come to the conclusion it might very well be coming from the top of the tank where the fuel goes in.
My question is this..how difficult would it be to get to that ? would i have to drop the fuel tank if so is it difficult?..is my thinking sound about this idea?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

This must be a summer issue as it is popping up again, there have been 3 post on this in the last week.
Your filler tube is broken most likely at the top of the tank, where mine was. You can replace yourself but much nicer to have mechanic do it! I had the entire assembly replaced so I have 2 new hoses and filler neck.
