Ok, i have a problem with my gas tank. One morning as I get ready to go to work, walk outside to my car and see that it is leaking gas pretty badly from the tank. I lifted it up later on in the day and it seems that there was a trial coming from the top of the gas tank.

I was just wondering if there were any common fuel leak problems on s14 models because I really don't want to take the tank off in 100 degree weather. Any help would be great.

I've had the problem on two of my 240s where the rubber lines that feed into the gas tank are old and leaky. Just undo the access panel in the trunk area and replace the lines.
