Re: Gas Quark

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Willie - Assuming that the the leak is up front, rather than back near 
the engine, and the filler tube has not come loose, I would guess that 
the rubber boot and cover that hold your fuel pump are probably 
cracked and deteriorated. The boot sits in gas all the time, and the 
rubber eventually gets damaged from that exposure, and the rubber or 
plastic cover seems to get disturbed or damaged on many cars, which 
can lead to water getting into the fuel pump area, or gas getting out, 
after it has leaked into the boot. The area that I am talking about 
can be accessed through the inspection panel at the rear of the spare 
tire well in front. This can be a dangerous situation, so I would 
recommend that you make it a top priority.
