Ford Repair: 1989 F-250, tank leaks, gas tank
QuestionMy front tank leaks fuel around the filler neck after driving but not when sitting still. I have trouble putting fuel in at the pump and takes forever due to some kind of vent problem I guess. What do you think? My gauges float around like crazy and never seem accurate. How can I fix this also?
AnswerBrent, the first thing I would do is check the hose and make sure it is not busted. How long have you had the truck? Did someone lose the gas cap and stick a rag in the filler hole? Something might be clogging the hose. It definitely sounds like the gas tank is not venting properly and building up pressure. I would try to solve this problem very quickly because you obviously do not want to over pressurize your gas tank. Do a thorough inspection and look for a clog. Good luck, Jason
