Default Re: Gas leaking

Until you can permanently repair the problem, take a bar of soap and liberally rub it over the area leaking. Believe it or not, that will stop the gas from dripping for quite a while - as long as the vehicle isn't moving (vibrations). Do this a couple times a day or when it appears the soap isn't working. In the meantime, place a bucket or pan with paper towels on the bottom beneath where the gas is dripping. Your rubber floor mat has probably already started to bubble or buckle where the fuel has been dripping, right? By soaping the area leaking and catching any future gas in a bucket, you may still be able to save the floormat.
