I have a 1982 BJ60 3B landcruiser wagon. there is fuel dripping from the engine, looks like it may be coming from the fuel pump body, or the front 2 fuel delivery valves. When we put fuel in the tank, as we open the cap, it makes a hissing sound like a vacuum lock. Does this sound like something we can fix at home, or is this a mechanic job? Can we take the fuel pump cover off to inspect the gasket, or will this cause some vacuum problem? Help me, thanks

I wouldn't worry about the vacuum in the tank, my BJ42 has that and it runs great. The fuel leak is not good. You'll need to clean the area and try to find the source of the leak then determine if u have the skills to fix it or get a mechanic. Best of luck !
Once you have the source located and if it is coming from the pump post up pics.
