    I agree this comment is priceless!!!

    :thumbs2:Yeah I've got a weird problem too. Sometimes when I take off from a stoplight huge wings sprout out of the quarter panels and my car just lifts off. It usually stays in the air for about twenty minutes and the whole time this is happening a steady stream of monkeys is flying out of both tailpipes.
    Any ideas fellas?:thumbs2:

    Check the gasket where the filler neck enters the tank.

    I would be more concerned with the rubber ring at the sender unit. That WILL make it go empty.

    its that old "you don't realize what you've got till you've lost it saying.
    your problem is easy to solve, just save half of whatever you were smoking (other than tires) for later instead of takin it all at once. if nothing else it should at least slow the flow of monkeys, or reduce them to penguins. (less harmful to the hole in the ozone layer.)(y) hope this helps.

    Other than checking the aforementioned gaskets and seals, check for rust holes in the top portion of your gas tank.
