For years, my ranger has suffered from the fuel leaking if you try to fill the tank (which I stopped doing). I saw the crack in the filler hose when I was swapping the fuel pump a while back, but couldn't wait for the part. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago when I swapped the filler hose and replaced the clutch. Yesterday I was going to treat the truck to its first real fill-up in who knows how long, but there it was again - fuel pouring out from under the bed. I removed the bed today and found the real problem. Something, my guess is a squirrel, had chewed a hole through the gas tank.
