Oh boy, happy happy joy. I think my Vette's gas tank is leaking. Tank is only a little of 1/2 full and I found a small puddle of gas on the floor of my garage behind the drivers side wheel. Garage smells like gas. Sound familiar to anyone?

Before ya get crazy. Get under there and look around at the hoses. Seems to me that they would crack and leak before the tank. Check all the connectors. Take a paper towel and rub it along the sides of the gas tank and see if it gets wet. Be an optimist, mayby someone was just trying to steal some gas and it leaked from THEIR can.

Hey Glenn, If someone was trying to steal gas from my Vette in my garage under my house, believe me, I would know. I have 2 dogs that hear so much more than a human and they let me know everytime anyone or anything even enters my yard. But thanks for the info. I will be under it right after supper tonight. I hope it is just a hose.
