Fuel Gushing Fuel tank Area 110

Recently when the ignition is on a massive amount of fuel will pour out from the fuel tank, I believe its coming from the top part of the tank, High Pressure hose etc.

the Fuel pump sounds normal. cant start the Motor as it seems fuel is not getting to the engine.

its a 3.5 110 V8 89, I was wondering if you guys think me and my friend (Not mechanically inclined) could drop the tank and replace parts etc, or does this require a mechanic and lift etc.

any advice or diagrams would be helpfull
Cheers

Yes. Tank is relatively easy to drop, sounds like it just needs a new hose fitting. Cheers

Make sure you rust protect the tank whilst it’s off

They tend to rot on the top if you off road in wet mud a lot.
