Re: [DML] Need guidance regarding gasoline leak



Take the access panel underneath the spare tire out before you go back
to the gas station.   Remove the spare and watch the fuel pump boot at
the next fill-up.  Mine was shot and when the tank was filled fuel was
pouring out the top of the tank until the pressure equalized.  Has
probably happened since I own the car but since I always drove away I
was never witness to the huge puddle of gas I was leaving at the pump.

Replace the rubber boot for something liek $50 and you'll no longer be
a fireball waiting to happen.
