leaking gas Sign In
I have a 1997 Ford E150 van and when I'm getting gas I see gas starting to drip from underneath when the tank is around 3/4 full.

Re: leaking gas Sign In
I guess your looking for advice on what you should do next.
After careful thought and much research I have determined that what you should do is look under the car and see where it is leaking from.

It could be the fuel tank vent hose. Just had to replace mine. It runs parallel with the filler neck. Drive until close to empty then drop the tank to inspect. They are bad about cracking and make sure if you have to replace you get Fuel rated hose. don't use regular heater hose etc. Hope this helps!

Re: leaking gas Sign In
You should probably get this taken care of as soon as you can.....

You don't want this little problem turning into a major nightmare...... Not to mention it's killing your fuel economy on a vehicle that probably doesn't get the best mileage to begin with...

Not to mention that if someone throws a cigarette butt out, the flame will find you!
