Anybody have a good tutorial on dropping the fuel
tank. I think my vents are plugged or something.
When pressure builds up gas will leak out the filler
neck. I've had to replace the rear passenger side
marker too many times. I'm going to run it down to,
almost, empty and see what the deal is. Thanks y'all

Whoa there ! no need to drop the tank to check the fuel overflow system .
Get the car up in the air remove the right rear wheel and have a look around
. Near the top of the fill spout is a plastic T molded into the tank . One
hose is attached to the T and goes from the T through a hole in the chassis
to a fitting on the top of the main body of the tank . This vents air to
allow the body to fill completely . The other hose from the T goes forward
to an overflow tank above the right rear wheel (bedpan looking thing)...this
should catch any expanded liquid gasoline . Vapors are routed forward to a
charcoal canister mounted above and to the rear of the right FRONT wheel it
then is plumbed to the intake. Attached to the bedpan is a one way check
valve which inhales but never exhales this keeps the tank from collapsing as
the fuel is consumed but prevents vapors from escaping . You must have a bad
hose , broken fitting or if you are corning hard just a bad loose fitting
gas cap .
