Yea man, You gotta give us more info, How much gas? Where was it coming from, the filler neck, the bottom of the truck?

The same thing happened to me this morning and it was the frigging gas pump nozzle not shutting off. Have you had any work done to the tank recently?

The gas leaked out from the tank under the truck on top of the tank where theres a circular opening. It leaked all the gas out except about 2 gallons...enough to get me home.

Gas tanks just don't moramlly bust open. Was everything o.k. prior to filling the tank? Were you 4 wheeling or have any repairs done to this area? It doesn't seem phsically possible to drain the entire tank from the top. I'd check the filler neck and look at the top of tank and also check for broken fuel lines etc.

The whole tank cannot drain out through the top.

Re: Gas leaking out!!!

I am sure you saw what appeared to be a lot of gas, but if you had really drained 15+ gallons, you'd have been literly in a lake of gasoline. Does the truck still run? Did you check to see if there was any broken lines or see any openings in the tank. Have you dropped the tank to inspect it?

WOULD YOU STOP OVER EXAGGERATING THINGS!

First the whole tank emptied out, then now only out the top?

how much really came out? Did you over fill it?

Two bolts missing, where?

Stop being so general. It is getting really annoying.
