I believe it generally occurs when the tank is full. Any way to stop the leak or is it just the nature of the truck? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 |
Gas expands as it gets warmer. In warm weather, gas in the ground storage tank is usually cooler than in the truck tank. A full tank of gas could easily expand enough to result in overflow.
