[FC] Hi all... gas leak help needed

[Ron Hinz]

It leaks where the rubber hose coupling connects to the gas tank.  Mine did 
that a few years ago when I was in Palm Springs, 1100 miles from home.  As I 
recall. it's difficult to get at the hose clamp and a four letter event to 
get a new coupling on without removing the entire fill tube assembly but it 
can be done on the road or at least in a parking lot.  The hose is also an 
oddball size not commonly available except from Clark's.  Other than that, 
it's a snap to R and R it.

Hi Folks!

I hope this day finds everyone well.

I filled the tank of my GB and noticed gas dripping out. I pulled over to 
the parking area and I could see the gas was dripping fairly quickly. I 
decided to head home to use up some of the gas. When I parked pointing 
uphill, the gas poured out fairly steadily. I turned the van around so the 
left side was a bit higher than the right and the dripping stopped.

My guess is the filler hoses too crispy to transfer gas from the station 
pump hose into the gas tank?

Clark’s?
