2005 Ram 1500 3.7L 2-WD - 26gal tank
A month ago, gas started pouring out of top of tank while finishing filling it up -- it spilled out pretty good, NOT just a drip or drizzle.
Thot it was filler neck hose or clamp, but a mechanic said more likely a crack in a seam on the tank.
So I removed the bed, pulled the tank, and NO CRACK, but when I plugged all hose connections and blew on the intake, some air does leak out of gasket around the intake neck-thing (gasket that seals intake to the tank; ** See Picture).
SO now i'm double guessing: I'm leaning toward it being the intake hose clamp due to the volume of gas that almost poured out when tank reached capacity -- BUT do I need to 100% seal -- or replace that gasket? ANd if i can repair or seal it, what product would work?
Thanks in advance!
