Was Leaking fuel, Not Anymore

[Woody35]

so for being a immature ill put on a flame suit for all the crap ill get from you guys but here it goes. so a month ago it had just snowed and most parking lots and roads near the industrial park close to me had not been plowed. had a full tank of diesel so me and my buddies got in the truck and headed there friday night. well we found this perfect little business parking lot with long straightaways and long big turns.

perfect for drifting in 4wd. well after drifting and making some good videos were talking with my friends out of the truck and the truck is idling. 5 mintutes later i leave to go park the truck in a non suspicous area that is better than a business park on a friday night. i go back to the parking lot and theres a huge puddle of diesel.

go back to truck and sure enough the diesel is coming down from the tank on to the rear axle. also there was barely any vaccum in the tank where there is normally is. no holes in tank im thinkin its the o rings around the fuel sender. well since then and two tanks later it has not leaked any diesel at all.

and i just checked and all the vaccum is back that used to be there. any suggestions on what it can be. was it just sloshing all around after drifting and spi8lled out some way?

any rust or excessive corrosion under truck. fuel lines /tank might be rotting -how she look under there.

how did you know

the lines are fine i checked the next day. this was coming from the rear axle. has not leaked a drop in the last month since then. i was thinking it was the o rings but now it has all the vaccum that it had before it started leaking. and a couple weeks after the leaking it had very low vaccum

Maybe you have an intermitent fuel cap problem and it created enough pressure to push it out past the oring. I would imagine your engine rs were up there pretty good too.

yeah i was at redline a few times. dont need a whole lot of rpms though when youve got all your torque at 1800 rpm and freshly fallen snow
