SOURCE: Engine filling up with gas

there is no way for fuel to get passed the rings right? So if you filled the head with fuel, it would just work its way down the exhaust pipe and out the back, just like its doing. The only way of getting fuel into the sump is; if you have seriously bad rings (it would be burning oil) OR if its getting through the breather system. I don't even think if the injectors were on full-time, it still wouldn't get into the sump... very strange. Are you sure its not coolant? A serious coolant leak can be completely unnoticeable from the outside, but catastrophic to the inside. __________________

SOURCE: Fuel leaking out the overflow tube...

The overflow tube coming out behind the swingarm? If that is where it is coming from sounds like your float in one of the carbs could be stuck.

You cannot bleed the fuel injection system.Test the pump alone (not on the bike) for sufficient fuel supply.Also check the fuel pump relay.
If all that is ok next time you try to crank the engine (only with kill switch on, the fuel pump primes up) with lifted tank and opened air box, spray a bit of carb cleaner spray towards the throttle bodies.It will help.

Take the carburetors apart and either rebuild them or clean them thoroughly.

Changed feel pump on shadow 1100 now gas is in oil tail pipe and running out overflow tube put a mr gasket fuel pump from autozone
Check for burst or leaking fuel lines. Check the rated fuel pressure recommended by manufacturer. Most fuel injected cars have standard pressure below 5 psi. Check the fuel pressure regulator too. Fuel pressure too high can cause injectors to leak and cause overflow and poor combustion.

1987 Nissan Maximum gas hand doesn't work & transmission is reading full but it leaks sometimes
There are three fixes possible for the gas gauge....but I would have this troubleshot by a garage:

1. The gas gauge itself does not work anymore. It could have just finally "died". Problem is, you cannot replace just the gauge. It has to be the whole instrument cluster. Having a garage shoot power TO the gauge and then shot the gauge itself will let you know if the gauge assembly is bad.

2. The fuel sending unit is bad. This means the wiring to the gas tank fuel pump/sending unit is bad and does not work. The signal is not being sent to the fuel/gas gauge. This means the fuel pump assembly needs replacing.

3. There is a wire problem somewhere between the gas tank and the dash to the fuel gauge.

The transmission leaking but still reading full just means that there is plenty of transmission fluid in the transmission. The drips or spots you are finding are not enough to "read" low enough. Unless you have a HUGE spot of tranny fluid left on the ground, I would just think about a transmission fluid filter change. This way, a new pan gasket will be installed and fresh fluid filled to the proper level will be accomplished on your car.

When filling up the gas tank of my 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix SE, it releabsed a few cups of gasoline from somewhere at the bottom of the car. I'm not sure why??? It hasn't leaked since.
Both the fuel pump and gas gage sending units are located inside the tank. They are accessed by a plate and gasket on top of the fuel tank.
If the gasket leaks or the hoses leading to the vent leak, your condition would happen. Unfortunately to confirm the tank would have to be dropped(removed) which requires all the fuel to be removed first. Not a pleasant nor easy task.

I have a gas leak and we think it may be the gasket for the fuel pump...can you help me locate it?
A 99 is most likely fuel injected, so the fuel pump is inside the gas tank. The gasket for this is a large O-ring in the top center of the tank and is unlikely to leak. Thus your leak is most likely in the line, put it up on a lift at a muffler or oil change place and look underneath for the wet spot which stinks of gas, that will lead you to the leaking spot. Gas tanks themselves can leak due to corrosion, this can be where road debris collects on top, and if you have a skid plate under the tank corrosion can build up between the plate and the tank eventually eating a hole in the tank.

Good Luck

Smell of gas outside of car that is blown in when the air conditioning is running. It seems most prevalent near the right rear of car.Does not seem to be leaking though fuel gauge does seem to be dwindling...
take it somewhere with a lift. pay them a few bucks to put it up in the air and look for wet spots. touch the wet spots and sniff your finger, eventually one of those wet spots will smell like gasoline, follow the wet spot to its source and there you go. most likely a gas tank thing, filler tube, rusted spot on tank leaking, leak in the fuel line, etc. it is a fuel injected car, high pressure, so if leak is on the engine side of the fuel pump when it goes it will be a mess and a fire hazard. it is nearly 10 years old so you might want to just drop the tank and replace the fuel pump anyway if you are looking at any serious labor.

I have fuel leaking from the top of the gas tank where the fuel pump sits. Is this something I can fix?
Might be the gasket of the fuel pump, a corroded fuel line or corroded fuel tank. The solution is replace the gasket, the fuel line or fuel tank. If fuel tank starts leaking, and if you plug a hole today, another is doing to appear tomorrow. Replace it with a plastic one. You have to lift up the car and work from underneath.

My 05 300c hemi is leaking drops of gas from gas tank near the fuel pump what could be the problem?
Your problem is no doubt that either the pump gasket is leaking or the filler tube connector or check the return fuel pipe to the tank from the engine or the breather if on top of tank (some are some arnt) or a small pinprick hole in the bottom but check out the pump gasket first as that is the most common thing.

Fuel tank leaking how to solve problem gas is not pouring out but is seeping through bottom of tank There is fuel leaking from the top of the tank, is it a fuel overflow release or is the seal on the fuel...
If your gas tank is cracked or has a hole in it, you have to drain the tank, remove the gas tank and replace it, or have it repaired (if possible). If the gas tank is just leaking from the top and dripping along the side and to the bottom, you will still have to empty the gas tank, and remove it to get a good look at the condition of the gasket. It is not uncommon for these gaskets to become cracked or fragile over time because of the harsh chemicals and cleaning agents used in unleaded gas. If you do decide to have the gas tank removed, I would recommend replacing the fuel pump and fuel filter if your car has high mileage. Please rate this response if you found this helpful.
