I have fuel leaking from under the car - the area where the fuel main hose and fuel return tube come through the floor on the drivers side of the car near the differential. The bolts are all tight, the fuel seems to be coming from above the vent case cushion. Any ideas?

There are two aluminium washers that seal the actual fuel line, no problem there. All the fittings on the bottom of the tank have a locating pin, the hole for the locating pin is open into the fuel tank. There is a rubber washer that seals the fuel line fitting to the outside of the tank, this was perished and caused the leak.
Replacement aluminium washers will be easy, the rubber washer / gasket will be harder to find.

All fixed.
Rubber washer part Number: 77171-30030 need 3
Copper Washer part number: 90430-12010 need 6

Cost all up was $25.55.
Plus a days work to remove the tank, isolate the problem, and reinstall the tank.

Jan Hi, have the same problem on my car but it is just on the main side. The return side looks to be OK, where did you end up getting the rubber washer/gasket?

Purchased parts from Amayama.com. All work can be done from under the car. Make sure tank is empty before you start.
