I'm also not looking forward to draining that full, gigantic gas tank if I have to pull it.īut assuming it's a leak that has to be addressed, who services gas tanks? If it's off and leaking I'd like to have it repaired and cleaned out. I'm hoping it's #1, and it may be, since it's coincidental that the leak surfaced at the same time I topped it off.

Today a heavy smell of gas was present in the garage and a quick investigation showed that the bottom/front of the gas tank was wet with fresh gas.ġ) I added more gas than usual, it sloshed around on the way home, and leaked out of the tank vent.Ģ) A leak - either in a seam, from that vent, or somewhere else in the vicinity. Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional character in the British book series The Railway Series, by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son, Christopher. I still plan to take it out once a month or so in the cold weather to lubricate everything, but essentially that tankful was meant to last through winter. Thomas as how he appears in Robot Chicken.

Over the weekend I topped off my gas tank, added Sta-Bil, and garaged my '63 for a winter nap.
