Re: [DML] Need guidance regarding gasoline leak

[Jeff Phillips <rvparty@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
