Default GASOLINE drip onto HEAT SHIELD!!!!

Hey I noticed todayafter filling up @ $2.30/gal () the smell of gas quite bad outside my car. looked underneath and she has an approx. 2min. interval drip of GAS onto the heatshield under my gastank!!!!!!!!!! drips faster when car leans nose down. any ideas on what this could be? I cant have her up on lift till next week, and she's my DD! this is frightening. the drip is about 2 inches to the left of my drivers side tailpipe!!!

j/k! sorry to hear about this! definaly get under there and pull that heat shield off, if you can jb weld that sucker! if you get a new one, you should buy a 99+ gastank, they are plastic and weigh less

if I got a new tank, (if thats where the problem is of course, as opposed to a connector or line or whatever) is that a rough install? I should know but I dont

people w/ 98's swap to plastic tanks all the time you should get plenty of support on here if you ever want to do so, i've never done it before, but once you get the exhuast off (if you dont have duals), the tank is just right there
