I have a 95 960 wagon which has a leak in the filler hose,i noticed a puddle under the tank after fillup.

I can not see how to access this hose,i tried going thru the spare tire well
but can not see where it goes to tank.

Has anyone got a tip on accessing that rubber hose?

Thanks.

Steve b.

    Well, the rear quarter of the car has to come off...

    No, seriously, see the FAQ section for details:

      I finally found the culprit .

      The rubber hose (the 2 in. dia one) was improperly installed.

      The clamp towards the front of the car was to high up on the hose.

      It was right on the edge of the nipple of the tank connection.

      I slid it down to near the tank well below the frt. of the nipple

      and tightened it down.

      It was great to be able to fill up all the way again without risk.

      The place the gas was dripping was way to close to the muffler.

      I am lucky the car did not burn up.
