Thanks for your video, i have a 2007 honda crv. I had the same issue, but mine was just the smell. I couldn't see any leaks. After watching your video, i went straight to the fuel pump, which, luckily for me, it has an access door on top inside the car. That made the fix real easy and fast.
Just came across your video, I’ve got a Honda CRV 2013, got fuel leaked coming from the top of tank, thought it might be coming from the fuel pump, but when I access it from the back seats, Found the feed fuel pipe was leaking, So thanks for showing me how to remove the fuel tank..
Everyone has been under a car and started getting tension in there voice giving a wife or child directions in a dangerous situation. Kids tend to wander mentally. So since he obviously doesn’t use harsh punishments (the kid wouldn’t need the strong words and tone if he beat him) he does what the Alpha wolf does. He puts tension in his vocalizations so they don’t all die.
2001 Jetta - original gasket leaked at 140K miles. Did not have to fully remove pump to replace gasket. Recommend a little Vaseline on the top of the pump flange to help the ring tighten. Tighten until it stops.
This was exactly what happen to my 2001 ford ranger, thank to your video I reach up with my hand and push down on all fitting and one clicked and now my leak stopped. Also the truck was sitting for about a 1 1/2 before I fixed the rear brake cylinder. after fixing the brakes it went to start and found tank leaking.
Is the locking mechanism on the connector ok? I would disconnect and reconnect a few times to ensure the connection is secure. If vibration caused it to move, it might be a good idea to replace the connector while you already have access to it, rather than come back later. Good vid - Thanx -Joe
At the factory it was put on without full connection. It was fine until heat and vibration made it come up enough to leak. Or the vent plugged and pressure pushed it off. The clip might degrade in the connector, but it wouldn’t snap back on correctly. Fuel tank pressure from heat evaporating fuel/moisture popping it up from the plugged vent is my bet. I saw a video of the vent on one F450 that is a right angle fitting open to the exterior and they said it gets plugged and initially lets contaminants enter the fuel system. As well as it’s recess filling with debris and plugging it.
I swear this sounds exactly how mine looks to have done. It was over 100 degrees out in South Carolina heat last week (end of July/august). I had to give it some gas three times. Third time it cranked but when I reversed I saw a lot of fuel on the ground. It only leaks when I’m parked or idle. When I drive it stops leaking.
@@cmasterson yeah, once the fuel pump starts sucking at the fuel it relieves the pressure inside the plugged up tank. There is a breather fitting on top I replaced when I pulled my tank on my 2006 F250 diesel.
My 2006 Toyota Corolla S was parked in the garage for a week. Took it to get smogged and smelled strong gas when I got there. Looked underneath and bottom of gas tank was saturated. I heard a noise of like squirting water. Came home, fully disconnected the battery. Noise still there. Could be because fuel lines still pressurized. Gonna drop tank today. Thanks for the video!
Sir awesome video . I got a question .mine someone put on the cap and cracked the lip .and know when I completely fill the tank.it leaks from the side.what should I do?
+tvoitdco When someone starts a sentence with: "You are gonna start the vehicle," then they start it without you finishing the sentence and can't here me when vehicle is running, it causes major problems. I always have different "assistants" mainly car owner.
I have an 06 the fuel pump works but when you start it it just gushes fuel out from the top where the fuel pump goes I hope it's not write it out to where I have to replace the sending unit will basically be the whole pump because I'm poor and I cannot afford one
some jerk probably pulled on your fuel lines on mine i think i have the same issue i felt the lines and they felt lose like someone grabbed them and pulled them sometimes i would fall asleep in my car when i worked for uber and i would hear banging underneath my car at first i thought it was an animal but then one night i fell asleep and woke up at 5am (i drive late nights to 3am) to a fkn homeless crazy person getting underneath my car
Great Video! I have 2011 Ford Mondeo with capless fuel system and every time I fill the tank, the gas nozzle shuts off after 5 liters even when the tank is empty. sometime the fuel pours out under the wheel arch. I went to more than one garage and they told me there is no problem with the fuel system in spite of the fact they did't do any inspections on the vehicle. Any advice please?
my 2013 scion frs has a similar problem, doesn't spill out but stops every time i pump for more than a couple seconds. from what i understand it could possibly be the charcoal canister or an issue with the ecu. Costs a couple grand to replace the tank at the dealer, so im just dealing with it.
I have a 92 Chevy K1500 reg cab shortbed and its leaking fuel too. I filled up at the gas station and noticed the smell shortly after I got home. Thoughts? I appreciate your time and expertise.
I think I found why it would come off. The fuel pump is in the tank, it produces the pressure to move the fuel forward, if there's an obstruction, say the fuel filter is partially clogged, Back pressure builds up. This back pressure, causes it to lift & leak at the tanks pump connector (the weakest point). Change the fuel filter, and possibly the line to it. If it continues to leak after that, move forward through the system to the next component (the regulator) find the blockage.
I have a GMC 1995 Sonoma and it's spewing gas while running and leaking from the top. Multiple dripping points. Could this possibly be the exact same fix?
Have you figured out the problem yet? I have a 2002 focus and it’s doing the exact same thing. It doesn’t leak at all when it’s just sitting but as soon as I start it, it starts dumping gas also from multiple points, as if it were coming from the top and flowing down the sides of the tank
Just happened to my 2001 Blazer. Fuel is just gushing down the back near the left wheel well but still runs. Hopefully it's an easy fix and not a pinhole in the fuel line 🤞🤞
I have a new fuel pump on a 05 Silverado, just recently I was pumping gas it did like it was full and it was pouring out of the tank area... MAN!! I need help because I sure cant afford a mechanic I'm a good DIY guy , this is inconvenient, I change the purge valve
Is this a 1998 chrysler Sebring? The chassis looks just like one I am working on now, fuel leaking fron same spot, very helpful video, thanks for posting.
What vehicle is this? I have a gas leak too and I suspect it's coming from the fuel line hose or clamp at the top of the tank. It's my second vehicle and had been parked in the driveway for six months, was getting ready to put it back on the road, started it up and let it run for awhile, and noticed the strong smell and the leak. Not sure what the heck happened, maybe dry rot on a hose? We have terrorist red squirrels that were really active this fall, and one stashed a lot of pine cones and junk under the hood of my other vehicle, so maybe he was rambling around under this one and caused a leak. I'll wait till the weather warms up to look into it anyway, but thanks for the great video!
You could of save time by opening the trunk by were the tire is at theres a door with like 6 screws u open that and all the connections to the fuel pump are there visible…
But if you want to be popular on utube, you have to do what Hollywood taught us all. Dignified, pleasant, entertaining or informative stuff only. It’s tough. And the fuel filter...well maybe he changed it and did not say so. But we are getting used to the pros pointing stuff like that out. I would change all the hoses, fuel pump and gauge sending unit...really you can say you should renew every part that is exposed by dropping the tank. Safety and reliability would tell you to check every clip screw and fitting and replace it all on anything in harsh conditions or any vehicle older than 2-5 years. Who wants problems with a $50,000 truck from inattentiveness. Especially fuel and electrical at the tank?
I'm not a kid bud . Secondly since everything is taken apart an the fuel filter sits on top of the gas tank. You might as well change it now , that's how I am on anything cause it's just common since i mean your in there already why not an plus the filters are only like $25 bucks at the most for these older cars .
The way you are talking to your helper.....I'll bet you're a real Richard Cranium.
Sounds like a child, so I’m sure they paid fern guidance when your doing something like this
Yea pretty sure it’s just his kid and this’d be the best way to learn. (Assuming 8-12)

Do you remember what code it was marking on the scanner?
Thank you this is exactly what i needed just my leak different spot same fitting
Roman, it sounds like you had bad experiences in the past with you assistant.

Lol he was talking to her like a child
A helper is a helper and a problem maker makes problems 😅🤣😂😂
Ooops... I missed this one last week. Weird one, but good that you found it!

some jerk probably pulled on your fuel lines
on mine i think i have the same issue
i felt the lines and they felt lose like someone grabbed them and pulled them
sometimes i would fall asleep in my car when i worked for uber and i would hear banging underneath my car
at first i thought it was an animal
but then one night
i fell asleep and woke up at 5am (i drive late nights to 3am)
to a fkn homeless crazy person getting underneath my car
Did you have to drop the bed ? Or ar e you just under the truck
Great Video!

Lmao. He yells at his assistant like it's his wife!! Haha
What car is this
Most important question is your name written in god's book of life
Funny 😄 how he’s talking to his assistant lol
You could of save time by opening the trunk by were the tire is at theres a door with like 6 screws u open that and all the connections to the fuel pump are there visible…
I had the same thing happen on the front connection to the motor I have no idea how it came loose, I drove miles before it did

At least take the boy out for some chicken nuggets 4 helping you out ps I have the same vehicle
Hoping this is what happened on mine, was a small leak then it got bad out of nowhere
Put some dye in the fuel tank and check it that way
if was me I would have changed the fuel filter while u was in there an since everything was taken apart anyways .
I'm not a kid bud . Secondly since everything is taken apart an the fuel filter sits on top of the gas tank.

take back seat out fuel tank is right their this is best way to change pump
Did that keep it from running. Im havving the same issue come to find out its leakimg
Any car awesome 👏🏽
Dude you fucking jacked the car up by its gas tank!! It probably reads wrong now.
Your lucky you have those connectors and that was the fix. :(
Ethanol rotting the fuel line
Someone probably didn't install it properly...
Well something like that cause your car To lose gas at a fast rate
Get new assistant
My truck did that to
