I seem to have a big gas leak in the engine. When I start the truck, the gas just runs out onto the pavement. It is directly under the engine and not at the back by the gas tank. At first, it only did this every once in a while. But now it spews the gas every time I start the truck! I can't seem to figure out what is causing this! Just tuned it up, put in a new alternator as well as a new battery! And now this! Any ideas what might be causing the leak or how I can fix it?

You have a bad gas line. They are steel and older models rust through. Better get it fixed soon before you vehicle becomes a blue fame! Good luck

Thanks! I will get that fixed ASAP! I have quit driving it since it started leaking! We were afraid that someone would throw a match too close to it! Thanks for your input!

Suggested Repair

Inspect and replace the rusted steel fuel line under the engine, and do not drive the truck until the leak is repaired.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1994 Isuzu pickup reports gasoline pouring out under the engine at every start, not near the tank. An expert says older steel fuel lines rust through and should be fixed promptly because of fire risk. The owner stopped driving the truck and planned to repair it.
