check all your electrical connections at the coil as well as the one at the TS2 and those under the plenum. _________________ “Most people don’t know what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.” - George Carlin |

ok. I've made it back from a 7-mile test drive with the family following in the truck. We had no issues with the engine.
As I took a left-hand turn they said clear liquid was pouring out the left side.
I assume gas.
Is the filler tube easy to access? |

The liquid is from the right side as I turn left.
How do you access the fuel filler and lines for the tank? |

OK. Today I was able to pull the fire wall. I found a tank and a bunch of dust. This shows me that the leak was not from the tank or the filler tube. Where else would the fuel be coming from on a left hand turn? |

Sounds like a filler neck issue from here, most likely the elbow behind the cap. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

also look closely around the fuel sender. Those O-rings crack and leak sometimes. There is a vent hose hidden under the spare tire that can dump also but it might not be worse on a left hand turn. Best guess is BusDaddy is right - it will be a rotted filler elbow. _________________ “Most people don’t know what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.” - George Carlin |

yes, again busdaddy is correct. the fuel filler hose at the top of the filler had a hole.
What a pain in the rear this is to replace.
Thank you for the help |
