'93 240 Fuel Leak

Hi,

My '93 240 wagon is leaking fuel. I checked the fuel sending unit lock and saw that it was indeed leaking, so I replaced it. I also replaced the lock ring and o-ring. Filled the tank, seemed OK, no visible leaks. Came back later and there's gas visibly dripping down the rear passenger side of the tank. It seems to be coming from above the seam.

First question: do I need to drop the tank?

Second question: it seems like it might be coming out from the joint between the filler pipe and the tank. Is this a common or possible leak source?

Third question: if I need to replace something other than the tank - the filler pipe, clamp, vent, or any of the hoses or tubes in there, where do I get those? They aren't sold by IPD or FCP.

Here is a link to a diagram showing the area that seems to be leaking:

Thank you!

Allen
