Tank leak, 85 Wagon

[Zoro]

Just went and topped off the tank in the 85, get it home and somebody pointed out that it is leaking fuel. There is a very small drip which appears to be coming from the top of the tank near the front by the axle. Can't even see the drip but the grime underneath is wet. Tank isn't really all that rusty and the fuel lines appear to be very good. is there any sort of gasket at the sending unit?

if it is the o ring on the sender dorman makes a replacement. I just did one.

When mine leaked, it was from rust pinholes that formed on top of the seam. Crud had built up there and kept the area moist.

new gastanks for Eagles are still available. About $170 from Advance etc, maybe a bit less on Ebay.  thanks gz

But not for SX/4s as I understand it.

Not yet. The OP has a wagon and we dug up a '6? Ford something fuel tank at a rad supply house we were going to try then I found my last spare tank for SOTE.

Thinking that's what the issue is here on this one, there is all sorts of crud on top of where the moist area is.
