Okay, seen several posts about gas tank leaks only when you fill the tank up. No, the recall 139 will not fix this leak.

The part number you need is: 3531434

It's a odd shaped hose with two diff sized ends, hence why you will also need the two diff. clamps that go on each end when you go to buy the hose.

To fix this, you have to drop the tank (unscrew the bolts to the straps holding the tank to the car), and try to have your tank empty as possible. You will need a good height set of jackstands, cuz you'll need to drop the tank and access above it. Also be cautious about putting too much stress on the send/return lines up there.

Have a method of bringing the tank down slowly, and then somehow getting it up and back into place.

I have not done this fix myself, and will probably not do it myself. My indy wants $100 for the job, so it can't be too tough if you have the space and equipment.

Good luck, and hope someone posts a writeup with pics, cuz this is a very common problem for alot of us.
