Hi I have an old omc 6 gallon gas tank which I'm having an issue with. I'm sure the exact age of the tank. Over the weekend while filling up gas poured out of where the fuel line connection is on the tank when I moved the tank at the time it was oly about half full. Im not sure i have he correct terminology for this part But am coming up short on information in searches online. Is there away to fix this? I have another identical tank and have not had any issues.

Looking at the connector, you'll see 2 large pins, one being the lock the other the fuel port, and 2 small pins. One of those small pins activates the gas valve when you hook up the hose. Maybe a piece of dirt got stuck in the valve. Try pushing those 2 small pins in and out a number of times.

It seems that pin was stuck but its still seems to be leaking not as bad as before. Thank you for the help
