> You might watch Jim's guys as they repair your leak. That will give you an idea of what is on top of your tanks. It can be one of several hoses up there. Mine was the generator line. Took my brother and me about 6-8 hours to drop the tanks, repair, and replace. They will be faster as they have the experience and tools. My brother and I stopped for Pizza and a few coffee breaks. I suspect Jim's guys might do the same. It will give you some peace of mind to get this fixed. Well worth whatever the cost might be. Make sure to check the rubber lines on the engine also. You don't want a leak there. Jim has an automatic fire extinguisher to put under the engine hatch that can save a coach. I sould investigate that too.

Yesterdays newspaper here had two guys working on a gas tank in an enclosed garage.  The gasoline light up and engulfed them in flames.  They believe the ignition source was a hot water heater on the other side of the garage.  The two were trapped inside.  A neighbor beat in the bottom panel of the garage door with a sledge hammer to get to them.  Both are in vary serious condition and were airlifted to a severe burn unit in Chicago.  

The garage and cars are a total loss.
