When I was reinstalling my engine and tranny, I accidentally broke the fuel
line at the same spot. It was only a steady drip, but I kept the front of
the car elevated until I had a chance to go replace the line. Since it
wasn't driveable, there was no hurry. :-)
Similar to David, my new problem is that I have to watch when filling the
tank because too much gas, and it will run out somehow all over the
pavement. Since I have to drop the tank anyway at some point to fix the
sending unit, I'm not too worried about it until then.

Thanks Gerard! I drive a 1500 and have a sort of different gasoline
problem.
It is not leaking--I have never seen a puddle or drip of gasoline under the
car. BUT when I fill up the gasoline tank there is a STRONG odor of
gasoline
in the cockpit until she is run for a little while. After running a few
miles there is no gas odor. The PO has placed the fuel pump, one of those
square aftermarket affairs, in the boot and I have replaced all the hoses
back there when I replaced the pump about a year ago. The gas odor problem
transcended the pump change.
Anybody have any ideas?
