fuel leak?

Tortilla · 04-11-2006, 09:07 PM

Anyone have any experience with fuel leaks on supras? My '89 turbo had fuel dripping off the gas tank cover the other day after i filled the tank. After a couple days it didn't look like it was leaking anymore, think it's a hole in the tank towards the top? Or is there a valve that opens up if you overfill?

Thanks

There is no overfill valve, if you fill it to the top of the tank fill hose it shouldn't leak, i do regularly (no topping off my ass). If it is leaking next time you fill it get a mirror on a stick and a flashlight and start looking for the leak, if it only does it when its full you might be lucky and just a have a crack in your tank fill hose instead of a crack in your tank. Good luck
