Earlier today, I was following this late 1970's Chevy pickup truck until one particular intersection where we were waiting for a left turn signal and I noticed there was a steady stream of what appeared to be FUEL leaking out from underneath the truck :caution:. I opened the window and sniffed the air only to get a good whiff of raw gasoline. I quickly got as far away from that truck as I could.

Anyone ever noticed fuel leaks ?

Did you check that your tank hasn't been drilled for gas? I read that this is happening more frequently.

I was driving a few weeks ago and saw a car that was dripping gas from the tank. I told the driver, but he said he knew about it. It didn't seem like he was on his way to get it fixed though...

He made a left turn at another light into a parking lot but I kept going straight.
Whenever I'm in such a situation I try to think "if I were the other driver, would I not like to be warned?", and take a minute of my time to spare potential grief to a fellow human. I suggest you do the same. :)
