[DML] Re: Need guidance regarding gasoline leak

["dmc783" <kellybelly2001@xxxxxxx>]

I had a similar problem. However, I had a lot of fuel pour out during 
fillups. It turned out to be a cracked plastic screw cap that goes on 
top of the o-ring on top of a part referred to as a "petrol GA tube" 
in the parts catalog. If you are opening up that area to have a look, 
you might want to check this out as well.
