I'm afraid you're right, everything points to a small fuel leak. The gauge still reads close to full, but there is fuel in the bilge. I'm thinking (hoping) that maybe it is coming from a loose fuel filter or something easier than having to replace the tank. If I do have to replace the tank, is there a way to use a portable diesel tank in the interim or something smaller than the OE tank for a permanent replacement?
