Gas leakage anyone ?

[Kris W]

We had a snowstorm here the last 24 hours so I of course took the opportunity to play in the snow, i've got three quarters of a full tank of gas ... whipped it up and down the road a few times (maybe more than a few) Did some donuts ... got back in the driveway noticed a strong smell of gas, lifted up the floor and found a puddle of gas in the bottom of my Argo. I can't find the spot it came out of, the tank is soaked in gas & the floor is soaked in gas but I can't find any place of origin for the leaking. I was thinking maybe it's coming out of the top somewhere because the top of the tank also had gas all over it. It only happens when I turn hard left or right and the gas "sloshes". any ideas?

Wow good thing you smelled the fuel before it caught on fire.

check all the gas lines for cracks and the fittings to make sure they are tight.
what year is your machine?

Check the filler neck hose for cracks in the rubber part. They usually leak when filling with fuel but could also slosh out. If not pull seat and inspect the top of the tank for cracks.

I would check the gas cap first, though it usually runs down the side of the body I'd imagine if small enough it could run down the fill tube, also if your tank has a vent line out of the back of the machine it would be at the age of cracking, vent line hooks to filler neck if so equipped.
