Pulled over on this chilly morning to show my view driving to work. That is Saddle Mountain. Hiked it many times and although the last half mile hiking sucks, it is well worth it every time. It is roughly an hour drive from me to the trail head.

Put $80 of fuel in it this morning, get to work and 30 minutes later a co-worker informs me there is fuel around my Cherokee. The main tank is dripping fuel.

Newer tanks have an access panel on the floor to get to the sending unit, mine being the first year Cherokee does not. I am not sure if it is fuel lines leaking or if the tank is.

No clamp. Angry
So I am going to drop the tank and replace all lines. Also see where lines go as I don't have a return line hooked up in the engine compartment. When they added the tank bubba was in charge....
