my tank is around like 24 gal, its a crew cab short bed, i tend to play nascar a little more then i should, and i have a fuel leak so i am sure that doesn't help at all, i'm going to take it in somewhere and have it fixed, i cant seem to find where its coming from

When I changed the hpop my brother finished it when I went to work. He broke the fpr and I had to get a new one. And one of the o rings in the fuel inlet was all messed up. It leaked for like 6 months then I changed the drain valve o rings I thought that was the problem. Then I dicovered that it was actually the inlet line I didnt know that at the time. I replaced all the sleeves no leak now. Guzzle has a nice selection replace the o rings on the valve and see if thats your leak. Mine always ended up with a puddle in the valley. Any shortbed has a 26gal tank and long beds are 38 I think
