nasty looking gas leak. any idea??
i got my car like a month ago, long story short, it has a gas leak and it leaks only when its about 3/4+ full,
last week me and jonathon(923) jacked my car up and we saw where the leak is coming from, its from where the hose meets with the tank, all of that was covered with some nasty soft stuff looks like jb weld. idk wtf the previous guy did with this ****, so we scraped all of what we could off, and we went to autozone and bought a thing to repair tanks, its like a clay that you put and it gets super hard, so nothing will leak, well 5 hours later we thought we fixed it, a couple days later, i put gas and it still leaks, leaks a lot less, but it still does.
i have a pic of it before we started takign out all the stuff it had. looks like jb weld. you can see from the pic how everythiing around it is wet with gas. maybe i just didnt put enough of that clay thing or maybe i missed a spot, might try putting on some more but dam its driving me crazy and i hate it. wanna get some input from you guys to see what i can do next. enjoy the pic

sorry i dont remember bro.
what did they do though, they replaced the whole tank???
and the tank only or the tank and the whole hose as well? i need to fix this **** asap. when i was trying to fix it, we dropped the tank a little bit, very easy to do.

hmm... idk that hose looks pretty bad, im calling a couple places now. see where i can get it cheapest im sure it wont be too much. base model cobalts are everywhere and not everybody needs a dam tank. and maybe i can grab that hose for like $10. you got an idea of what would be a good price to pay for it ?
