My RV will not hold fuel. I can put $10.00 of fuel in the tank and it will all leak out with-in 3 day's. Can you tell me the best and safest way to find the leak? I'm living in the RV and I'm on oxygen 24/7 and I'm afraid to let the mechanic put more fuel in the tank to find the leak.
Anyone with an idea would be appreciated.

Smell with your nose. See if its the lines or the tank. Best way is drop the tank and then fill it with air and find the leak with soapy water. If you ahve a leak it will have to be fixed so tank will have to come off anyways.
