Full Tank Leak

When I fill (overfill) my tank I get a leak from what looks to be on top of the tank. Anyone seen this? I know, the obvious answer is to not overfill the tank, but I have to !

Is it likely the overflow hoze, or the bung gasket, or ????

Grab a flash light and find out exactly where it's leaking. I had a leak on the inlet piping where it was rubbing on the body of the truck, but this failure caused it to leak all the time while filling. Seal-all cured that and added some extra padding to prevent wear.

Once you find out exactly we should to be able to help you out a little better. Could be alot of things, failed o-ring, cracked tank, etc, etc. You may find it handy to remove the rear drivers tire to fit your body in there, then have someone fill the tank while you watch.
