fuel leak

gurpz1987 · 10-07-2009, 02:21 PM

filled the tank up to max and next day see a puddle of diesel at the rear wheel where the fuel cap is. went for a drive and come back and it stopped leaking. what can be the proble? becasue no car should be leaking ever if its full to the top.

Sounds like someone jacked your gas. Probably siphoned it with a hose and the puddle is what spilled out.
