    lol: gas leak....

    Gas leaks from tank when I fill it up past a certain point. Completely unsure of that point because my fuel gauge is incorrect for my car...

    It leaks from the drivers side, around the wheel well. I eventually pulled the rear seat and checked things out. My car is rust free so I doubt it's the tank itself. Smelt like gas here, and felt like there was some residue...

    Almost looks as if a seal has popped out of place.

      One trick I've heard of is using a thin layer of grease to help the seal.
