Turns out the topside of the clamp that holds the hose from the tank to the main pump was gone so basically no clamping action.Undercoating was getting soften by fuel I assume when the car was running as there was never any puddling going on under the car. 190k kept outside for the past 12 yrs.

Might have been a worm gear clamp as it slithered off somewhere? (:-) probably behind a can of beverage on the bench! (:-)

Clamp was still there just half of it,rusted onto the hose. Checked the 87 which is garaged 145k still all there and undercoated as well

I didn't smell fuel. Just happened to notice the leak when I was under the car on another errand.
