Gas Tank Leak & Removal?
Hello guys,
My car is a Backdraft RT3 #755. I notice the other day that I had a small leak from my Gas tank. 1 drop every 10minutes. And also it was random. So i lift the car and it was impossible to take the tank out to see it .
I put my fingers at the top of the tank - and I felt it wet, so I took my cellphone and I managed to take 1 image that shows the problem. Also I found a piece of seal very close to the golden area. I am positive it belongs to the seal.

So how can I access the top part of my tank where the fuel level sender is. I think the seal there is damaged and is leaking. I am thinking to cut an opening from the top. But I am sure there must be away to take the tank out?
What option do I have?
Thank you - Andronikos, |

Hi Jay, yes but from the passenger side is a hose that sticking out, and hits the frame. Are you sure we can remove it from below?

Yes, remove hoses, unbolt and shift/tip is to drop out.

Thank you - I will try it tomorrow. Do you know what is that seal? Is it form the fuel level sender? If yes should I order a new sender then? I have to admit that fuel gauge does not work very accurate on my car.
Thanx - Andro,
