Well got everything together on the stang and took it for a test drive. All was OK till I try to fill up with gas. A big puddle forms under the car, I shut the pump off and look to see fuel rainning down from several spots under the car. I wait several minutes but report the spill to the cleck. I'm freakin out about do I dare drive it home like this. I'm crappin my pants but start to drive it home. I keep lookin behind me and still see a wet line following my car. I make it home and get out the floor jack. I check fuses, connections, everything. I then look at the GT500 pumps I just install and they are leakin out at the top. The drivers side tank is full and the passenger side is M-T. I'm going to have to pull the freakin pump out again to see it the connection under the hat came loose. Thats the only thing I can think of.

Well this is no way to relax on your days off.
I am sure it is something simple like a gasket that didn't get seated properly. 
You'll get er fixed.

Fixed I hope. Somehow the siphon tube became disconnected on the new pumps. I never even messed with that when I installed them. They went in quicker the 2nd time than the first.
Crossing my fingers that its fixed
Yesterday 93 octane was 2.80, today 3.15
but I just wanted to see if the tank would fill up. Man talk about road noise!!! Backseat out, everything in the trunk out, I think I heard every stone my tires hit.
