There is a large hose about 1-1/8" or so between the two tanks. Its about 10 inches long mounted at the very bottom corner of each tank. Like I keep saying, degrease the hoses etc thoroughly and you'll see whats leaking eventually. If you must remove the large transfer hose you MUST absolutely pump out all the gas first. Ask me how I know! One of my first posts here was about a disaster of gas going down my arm and frantically trying to stop the leak of gas after a disconnection. I thought the tank was empty - it wasn't!

Same problem. All hoses and seals seem fine. Is there a hose which connects both sides of the tanks you have to access from under the car?
