Car is a 2003 mercury sable GS, V6 engine.








Fuel is leaking from the top of the gas tank only when the




engine is running. With the key in the run position i can




hear the fuel pump turn on and pressurize the system




and there are no leaks. It only leaks when the engine is




running. The fuel pressure is within specs. Only 50k




miles. New fuel filter installed. Using shell regular unleaded gas.




No OBD codes when scanned. Check engine light is off.












Any idea why it only leaks when the engine is running?








I did a google search for this problem, no usefull results.








Best Regards




Tom.
