Driver side fuel tank help needed.
I have a 2000 that leaks fuel on the driver side when I fill my gas tank full. I read through all the previous posts on this issue and decided to drop my tank last night to find the leak.
I removed the tank, fully inspected it and cannot find any cracks. I capped off the crossover hole and filled the tank with water, no leaks.
The crossover hole is slightly out of round. The crossover tube is rubber with a hose clamp. Would the hole being out of round cause a fuel leak?
I think I might pull the Crossover tube from the car hook it up to the tank and check for leaks, but I am not sure if I can get my hand up on the passenger side to loosen the clamp.
It is frustrating for a part to be so hard to remove and then not be able to find the exact cause of the leak!!
Any suggestions?

I am pretty sure the out of round crossover hole is the problem...just purchased a different tank.
To remove the tank I dropped my mufflers and the center section of the exhaust. I was able to reach up and loosen the crossover clamp and disconnect the smal line. Was a PIA, lots of cuts on my hands!!
