I figured it was the rubber hose from the filler tube to the tank as it was rubbing the inner fender metal so I also cut that back. So I replaced the rubber. It still leaked. So then I figured I screwed up the clamps. Nope, still leaks and here I am. I have already pulled the tank. It was easy because my trunk floor has been cut out. I plan to pressurize the tank and then spray the area I think it is with soapy water. Much like finding a hole in a tire. We will see. It almost looks like the neck wasn’t welded where it meets the tank behind a small strengthening piece of metal.

Oh, and after all this, the entire area around the filler neck rubber is dry so I do not think it’s coming from the hose part of it.
