Fuel Tank Leak

[randyman]

We started noticing a gas smell at the back of my wife's 98 Mustang. When she filled up to day it started leaking gas. I did not get to see the leak but all indications are that it is coming from the rubber gasket/grommett where the filler tube enters the gas tank. Does anybody know if this is a replaceable part or am I looking at a new fuel tank?

ive replaced many of those grommets.so you dont have to worry about a new tank.you can get one at the dealer for cheap.its easier (at least for me) to lower that part of the fuel tank for easy access to the grommett.but ive seen other techs do it without lowering the tank at all.

Thanks for the info. I will call the dealer again.
