   leaking gas from top of tank

   The cracked tank is a '96, donor '93. The other local rig with the same issue is a '93.

   leaking gas from top of tank

   Will see, know of two that have the issue, the other owner hasn't opted to do anything,,, yet. Don't know, on the '96 tank the strips were grayish and have that backing, the '93 were blackish and don't appear to have it. Both look original, no evidence that ether had ever been out of the rig.

   leaking gas from top of tank

   Some like to obsess about the fuel sock. The one on the left is from the donor, ~300k miles, no history. The one on the left has ~155k miles, steady diet of regular gas from a top level supplier, Costco.:hillbilly: Didn't look like ether had anything significant in them. Blew them with...

   leaking gas from top of tank

   Another one bites the dust! The victim is a '96, the donor is a '93. Arrow points to the carnage. Close up of the damage and the same spot on the donor.

   leaking gas from top of tank

   My repair method would have been ether braze or solder. It's difficult to get a gas tight seal with weld and it's much more solid than the sheet metal, making cracks around the weld likely. Braze and solder flow better into the crack, seal better and are more flexible.

   leaking gas from top of tank

   The vapor in the tank expands/contracts depending on temp, this causes the top of the tank to flex, the chances of and "glue" fixes working are slim. The best fix would be a braze or solder job, but finding someone to do it would be the problem, try calling radiator shops?

   leaking gas from top of tank

   The straps are "hinged" on one end and have bolts on the other, remove the bolts and down comes the tank.

   leaking gas from top of tank

   Bummer, my guess is a cracked tank.:frown: The link in the first post doesn't work, but there have been a couple over the years. No problem, dispose of it in your tank!:D That hole is outside of the weld line, it's on all of them that I have seen.

    leaking gas from top of tank

    Have you pulled the floor hatch under the back seat to see if it's the sender/fuel pump mount plate gasket?
