Fuel Leak - How to make sure it's the fuel pump ring?
Hi guys,
So I just picked up a 07 H2 last week with 99k miles. When I saw the truck i could smell gas and the sellers mechanic told him it was the gas vent. After driving it on the 2nd day, i noticed a few drops of fuel on the driveway. Looking through the small crack of the rear wheel well, I could see the top of the tank wet with fuel. I am thinking it is the lock washer of the fuel pump many have said in the forums rots out. Any suggestions on how i can make sure this is really the issue and now a bas hose or vent before dropping the tank? It seems to only leak when pressurized, mind you i did have 3/4 of a tank when I saw it leak on driveway. Since then no real leaks on floor.
I had a error code P0446 which refers to EVAP. I cleared that a week ago and about 100 miles later still no Check engine light.
How should i proceed and would you guys replace the fuel pump also since i am there or only the lock washer and gasket?

In the same situation myself, just have the smell of fuel around the back LHS. Also get either "Tighten Fuel Cap" or engine warning large evap leak.
My intention is to order a new fuel pump (ACD), ring and gasket. I tried 3 times to order from RA Jan this year, each time the pump arrived broke, pain when your in the UK.

HUmmerz, I have not attempted to remove my pump yet. That was another user who posted in my thread about having similar issue,
So I removed my wheel well and this is what i found. Looks like the vent pipe has rotted out and broken in the actual fitting. Anyway to repair or need a new FPM? How do I get the broken pipe out of the fitting? I dont have any extra to grab to pull out.
