So I just filled up my gas tank. Also just put the t case in. Noticed a possible leak thought nothing of it, as when I heat my garage I can get some condensation off the cold metal.

Now I am leaving a puddle of diesel behind. Still need to pull the skidplate but I don't think I have a hole in my tank. The Jimmy is now starting hard so I think I have a cracked line.

Measurement needed is where do I cut to get good access to the fuel tank?

Just the sending unit and such. Anyone got any measurements?

Can't help you with measurements but if you think it's a cracked line why not throw a few psi of air pressure in the tank and see if it is pushing diesel out anywhere?

Cause I didn't think of that :whistle::whistle::whistle: LOL

I will be doing some investigating before cutting holes, I actually just might need to hit the area with a hammer, that part of the floor might just fall out
 
Erik, this is way off topic but what gears do you need ? I have three ten bolts and a 14 sf 8 Lug. Let me know what you need. I will pull the covers on Xmas eve if you still need them.let me know as they will probably go to scrap soon.
 
Hey Jess I need 4.10 10 bolt gears. I have 4.10s for a SF ( haven't procured one yet).

Thanks dude
