I definitely understand, but my question is this:  suppose that you
overflow the tank upon fill-up.  I'm pretty sure that there is an
overflow valve or something that would allow excess gas to drain to the
ground.  The leak while more than a drip initially does NOT remain.  So,
other than upsetting some of the earth's balance, I think I not dealing
with a leak, but with simply an overflow situation.  However, I need
confirmation that there is such a valve.

Ashford,

Please don't ignore it or hope it goes away. I'll repeat my horror story
from a couple of months ago. Found a small puddle of gas under the car
and
some dripping, quickly drained the tank, came back later and gas was
still
dripping, found A GALLON of gas underneath the spare. Lucky I didn't go
boom! There was a pinhole leak in the tank.

- Hugh
