Sure it's not condensation from your exhaust system

Is the fuel pump recently installed? If so, then it makes sense its leaking when you fill it up because it is not sealed correctly.

Wouldn't you likely smell it inside the car then

Commas and capitalisation?

The owner is clearly clueless and/or click bait and your jumping into with your excruciatingly bad grammar.

How is that helping things?

Your uncalled-for rudeness isn't helping things, that's for sure.

I guess I could have used a comma, but I'm not sure how to apply capitalisation.

Unfortunately, I'm also "jumping into" and I'm not sure what to do with your subject-less preposition.

Dunno. Pic's from a troll thread. Seemed apropos to this real thread.

That's how your car looks when the sheriff rescues it from the speed shop.

Needed to buy a new top for the canister as it had been installed and removed to many times (few pump issues) and would not seal. This screwed up my fuel sending unit but eventually all was fixed.
