HELP I just went to the gas station on my way home from work and filled up and noticed my leg was wet and i saw a good size puddle of has leaking from the hose connecting to the fuel tank onto my right exhaust tip.... I diddnt notice till after i filled it and im pretty sure it wasnt happening before. I drove home and it wasnt leaking anymore but a put a bucket under the area incase... what should I do about this? I dont see a hole or cut in the hose and the spot is so wet i cant pin point the spot. Its a 2000 v6 btw

The guy at the parts counter said its very common on all the mustangs even the sn197's. He said thats one part i always keep in stock. Anyway, pulled the trunk fabric out to get to the filler hose. Its a bitch fishing it through on mine cause the hose is metal and has some awkward angles. But it can be done in an hour or so. Good luck!
