Arch, I thought I was alone.

I too removed my tanks, (due to a leak at the time I purchased the coach)=
.

I found everything in the fuel system in excellent condition except the 1=
line that was causing the problem.

Cooked the tanks.

Replaced all hoses (as far forward as front drivers wheel for now)

In order to check, (just to be on the safe side, prior to lowering the
coach) I filled the tanks using gas cans (about 23 Canadian Gallons[ abou=
t
27 U.S. gallons]) added without any sign of leaks.

Given the lack of leaks, I felt good and got impatient. I let the coach
down and prepared for the weekend.
>
On the way out of town I stopped for gas.
>
Stopped filling when a leak appeared on the passengers side (looked like
the fill fittings at the forward tank).
>
Left the station.
>
Stopped for groceries and gas appeared to be pouring out at the passenger=
s
side near the front rear tire. (I had parked on the street, sloped to the=
right at the curb)
>
Hoped the coach wouldn't burn while I was buying groceries.
>
Drove away for the weekend and haven't seen or smelled gas since.
>
Haven't gassed up or gotten the coach up in the air since.

Once I find out what is going on I will report.
