ran over something, passenger rear, now gas leaks only when filling tank ?
sounded like I ran over a rock, and loud thud. Fuel only leaks when filling, could I have ruptured the fuel line ?
Anyone have pics of the fuel system from the gas cap back?
Thanks for your input

also can hear a "drip, drip" sound in the tank, (like dropping a rock into a pail of water)..
and when I opened the gas cap, a lot of air pressure was released(full tank) This then made the "drip, drip" sound occur more frequently.

Sounds like the filler neck has a crack...
if you only have a leak when you are filling it up. Are you sure it's not leaking while the car is moving (dangerous)? Might be repairable as a DIY if you can directly visualize and access the crack. You can try using SEAL-ALL. Home Depot has it. It fixed a puncture in my tank very nicely and is holding so far. Is your B5 tank plastic like the D2? Good luck...
