Welcome to 2CarPros.

Remove the rear seat. Locate the access port to the fuel pump. Remove the port cover and inspect hoses from the pump assembly. Also, confirm there are no leaks where the top of the sending unit attaches to the tank.

See attached pictures.

Let me know what you find.

Welcome back:

Happy to help. Let me know if you find any leaks. That is where I have found rust to play a role in issues. When you check, make sure to look for any stains which could indicate there was a leak.

Take care and let me know what you find.
