Thanks all for the information and Tom thanks for the link. For some reason I forget about the -way back machine- and just go to panic. The cork has knots, I got it from Moss. I think what I did 3 years ago when I started this car was soak the cork in oil for a couple of days, the fuel pump bowl and the gas shut off cork, and they worked fine. Yesterday when I put fuel in to start the car, the gaskets in both places evidently had dried up, creating another high drama night, very high. At one point I tried sharpening a stick to put in through the gas cap hole like I heard Randall suggest years ago. Sorry but it did not work, but more likely it was me trying too hard. What finally work was I pulled the guts out of the shut- off and jammed a rubber cork into seal it until now. It just dawned on me if I would have jacked the car high up in the front, it probably would got above the fuel in tank and stopped leaking. Today I hate cars, myself, and the universe for putting through this. Hopefully, I will venture out today when the coast is clear and find some kind of something to jam in the hole. Maybe drink 5 bottles of wine to find a cork.
