So I went and park my car at a slight angle (the left side was lower than the right side.) Fuel starts DUMPING! out of the left sideskirt. Weird!? I peeled back the carpet and I do not see any leaking inside the cabin at all. It is outside of the car. It doesn not appear to be leaking from the tank because its pouring out of the side skirt! I can clearly see when I get under the car that there is nothing coming out of the tank it self.

I am having it towed to my buddies shop but I wanted to get your opinions on this craziness.

When the car is on flat ground, it does not appear to leak at all. (When I had the right side higher, it had close to a full tank and it stopped leaking at about 3/4 of a tank. I found an article which spoke about a breather that runs under the car. But gas shouldnt go up into the breather right? The car was not on that much of an angle!! Very slight.

Thanks!

Notice how I jacked the right side up and it started pouring out the left? I did this to take a pic. Where it was parked earlier, the angle was about half of this.

You might want to check the fuel filler neck condition, or the fuel sender gasket on top.

I agree - the fuel filler neck has a breather too right? The fuel lines them selves dont appear to be leaking. I brought it to my buddys shop. Hes gonna check it out tomorrow.

I'm betting on the neck also - I heard they're quite prone to breaking.

Yup - Fillerneck had a hole. 40$ part. 100$ for somone to drop the tank and put it back in.
All better!

See those bolts on the back of the tank in your picture? Put the car on jackstands, put your jack under the tank and undo those two bolts, tank dropped enough to do it yourself if you need to again. Save you $100.....

however, if the undercoating is still there, it is next to impossible to get the tank of yourself without breaking something...been there done that hated it, the tank was literally "glued" to the car!!
