i recently purchased a 2005 and am working out some issues. the current problem is that when i fill the tank all the way, some fuel leaks out for a minute. the leak seems to be coming from between the filler and the tank, all the way up near the bottom of the floor of the vehicle, above the tank itself. it loses about a 1/3 to a half a pint of diesel in a fast drip and then it's fine. if i don't fill up all the way, it doesn't happen. any ideas? is this a known issue?

There is a rubber hose between the fill neck and the tank. Could have a crack or loose clamps.

thanks 1badkj, i'm having trouble getting visual access to that area. any advice? and why would it leak for that long if it's at the highest level of the fuel lines?
