Jesse Williams_49219 Member 26 Member For: 13y 2m 1d Posted 21/05/13 02:16 AM Author Share Posted 21/05/13 02:16 AM There is another thing I noticed prior to my welds popping...When I filled it to the brim, it would dump a heap of fuel from somewhere around the diff.Could this be related? It doesn't always pop welds on a full tank, but always does leak.
