Hey Chris, is it leaking from the filler or the relief? My fuel tank was leaking from the relief hose since there's that jacket over a part of the hose and some rocks eventually cut into it.

it leaking from the filler o ring area. i actually replaced the o ring and then it started leaking worse. i can start the car and walk to the back while the turbo timer is running and look at the filler neck(with splash shield removed). its got gas just running right out. stinky.

light a match and see if it'll stop leaking then... honestly though you probably crushed the oring when you tightened it down... you can always try permatexing it for a temp fix
