Fuel Leak

[drugal]

I've got yet another problem with my Camry. This time, it's a fuel leak. 1989 3S-FE 5spd.

If I get out of my car after driving, and stand around the rear driver's side door and side pillar, I can smell raw gas. It gets stronger if you bend down and sniff around the rear wheel well, and even stronger underneath the car in that area. I've tried popping the hood immediately after stopping, and sniffing around the engine area, but there's no smell there, or anywhere else around the car. The gas smell fades away to *almost* nothing after 30-45 minutes, and my tank has zero pressure after a few minutes of the engine being off. It hisses a little if you remove the cap right away.

I'm using about 2-3x as much gas as I was, and I'm wondering where to start looking. I've kept my tank below 1/4, and the problem still persists. Any ideas or known problem spots? I'd like to fix this myself without blowing something up, if I can. Thanks!

Look around the rear drivers side wheel well area and the gas tank.

Theres a little rubber hose at the bottom of the tank. Check that hose.

definetly something around your gas tank, so check the in/out lines and the filler neck hose
