fuel tank leak

well my truck now is leaking at the rear tank. On the front/passenger side corner. I have not taken the metal shield down yet. But if I can't just epoxy this one, I will get a replacement, but I would like a oversize one.

I think I will try and fix my other fuel leak that drips out the belhousing. What is normally the cause of that and how much to fix that?

Matt

Are you sure that front leak isn't coming from the pump or lines on top of the engine valley? Anything that leaks into the valley will drain through a hole at the passenger side rear of the engine valley and drip down the passenger side rear of the engine.

Good luck with those leaks. There are lots of threads on fixing the fuel system parts. Last week I got a new pump, hoses, washers/seals etc for about $175 total from Ford. Parts lists are on the threads if you search. Not sure about the tank repair.
