Default small gas leak with tank full

i have ben having this problem for a while now, whenever ui fill my gas tank above 3/4 tNK and go for a drive whenever i pull in my driveway and let the car sit, gas will drip for a couple seconds then stop, also when im in the car i have a real bad smell of gas, i was just wondring what would cause this, it only leaks while i am driving and when i stop for a couple seconds with 3/4 tank it makes no sense anyone have any ideas???

hondaguyef had same problem. A hose was not sealing correctly....think its time you dropped your tank buddy and buy some new hoses before you do.

Take it to a shop.... TRUST me. With a tank that old, on a car that old, if they break something, they can usually fix it. You probably won't be able to without a HUGE-*** headache.

drop your tank, it sounds like the hoses not sealing leading out of your fuel pump.

Which is caused by those POS metal line fittings getting pinholes in them. Good luck with those. Take it to a shop... PLEEEEEASE. Trust Vash.
