fuel leaks

Yahoo Message Number: 97338
I have a 2003 country coach intrigue. I have a fuel leak over my fuel tank when the coach is stationary, engine not running. The ambient temperature has to be hot (95 degrees or above) it has happened 4 or 5 times over the last year. I am at a loss as to what is causing it.

Sounds like the charcoal canister and hence the venting system is plugged.
Next time you think you have the situation that will cause the issue try loosening the fuel cap enough so it can vent.

ULSD was known to not play nice with pre ULSD rubber hoses. Possible leak of the line to the generator or the Aqua/Hydro Hots?

Preventative changes of these lines is recommended. Gates Barricade is a good one, but others too:)!

Hope it is something easy to find!! Best,

I have had the same problem a couple of times and discovered that it was coming out of the overflow vent which is on the drivers side of the tank next to the fuel inlet. Both times it was in the mid 80's and although it was on a slight slant as it was temporarily parked next to the house, I figured it was due to the tank being to full with the slant, but it did it again parked slightly uphill also so I'm a bit stumped. It has never done it parked in storage ( Very Level) or while we have been on the road in any RV Parks, so when level it does not do it??? Were is this Vent Canister?? Both times the fuel tank was 3/4 to almost full.

Thanks for the input.
