OK, the girl is up on jacks at the back (5 ton ones, hehe). Fuel leak seems to come from the lines that attach to the fuel sending unit. Will not know until I drop the tank. Didn't have the leak until I added LUCAS fuel treatment. Seems additives find a way to expose a rusted fuel line/hose that will eventually fail - horrible way to test for them.
As it stands now, this is what I will have to do: - Disconnect the battery
- Syphon the fuel out
- Disconnect power cable to the fuel sending unit
- Take exhaust pipe and muffler out
- Take out the heat shield
- Disconnect the filler pipe from the tank
- Disconnect the filler pipe air vent hose
- Take the straps that hold the tank in place
- Disconnect fuel hoses that are next to the rear wheel on driver's side
- Drop the tank
- Don't pass out from the smell of gasoline (will use a fan to blow fumes away from working area)
I will keep updating this saga with new events as they happen.
Wish me luck.
