I have a leak on my 98 Toyota Sienna's fuel Tank. The leak is at the top of the tank near where the filler neck enters the tank. I cannot tell exactly where the leak is, since it's a small area and I cannot get a good view without removing the tank. The tank is 3/4 full at the moment.
Gas will only leak if it's full or if the van parked on sloped pavement the rear of the tank is lower then the front.
I would be using most of the gas in the tank first, then draining the remaining gas using the drain bolt.
A couple of questions.
(1) Would a patch kits work on this type of repair?
(2) What should I look out for if I remove the tank myself for this repair?
I'm sure there are a few rusty clamps or connectors for the lines.
Should I just get a shop to repair the tank?
