Leaking gas everywhere! I just got my 2001 z28 back to my house and its leaking a steady stream of gas from out of the metal cover that wraps around the front portion of the gas tank. Seems to be only when the car is on, scary! Please see picture and tell me what in the world is happening. The pic only shows one side of the gas tank, but its leaking out on the same spot on the other side. The leak seems to be coming from up higher then I can see. I have a walbro pump. Thanks guys.

Update: I did the fuel pump trap door very carefully with tin snips, everything is fine on that end. Turned ignition to run and fuel poured out again. Now my only option is to trailer the car 60 miles to a lift and get into it there. If anyone has has fuel leaks other places then the pump attachments please reply with the location. Thank you

I have a 98 z28 and ive had issues with gas leaking out thru the filler neck and gas cap when I make sharp right turns when the tank is about 3/4-Full. Gravity would send it up and out of my filler but I just got a new tank and fuel pump so hopefully it solves it. Anyone had this issue before?
But did you replace the rubber o-ring sending unit gasket on top of the tank when you changed the pump? Very possible if you didnt. Theyre only about 15 bucks

Update: I dropped the tank and tested each of the lines. The line from the pump to the fuel filter had some nicks/cuts on the corner. No idea how it happened I am just happy to have found it. Now I just have to find a used one and I should be all good. The picture shows where the cut in the line was, shown is the driver side of the fuel tank while dropped.
