Gas Tanking leaking...

heh, its not too bad. Wondering if I have seen your car around town before, what does it look like?

Is it white? I have seen a white stang around town on welds and some big meats on the back.

It is not uncommon for tanks to leak. Seems to me that parts stores can get them for a around 100 bucks or a bit more. Or resto houses have them too.
Newer stangs use the same tank too (my bud's 98GT tank looked just like ours) if you have to hit the J/Y.

Good luck.

I just threw away a tank. Bought a new one online from Autozone. It was shipped to my door in just a couple of days. My old one was leaking from the rubber o-ring on top of the tank where the fuel pump goes in and also seeping from the filler tube grommet. I couldn't tell for sure where the gas was leaking from until I started the car up with the fuel tank laying on the ground and hooked up. Then it started leaking like crazy from the o-ring. Replaced the rubber grommet and o-rings (2 on my '84 tank) and no more problems with fuel leaking. Just went ahead and replaced the tank anyway. You might want to go ahead and pick up a new fuel filter too. No matter how careful you are you will dislodge some debris somewhere that will work its way into the fuel lines. Mine ran like crap for a week or two---cutting out sporadically. Good luck.
