    Fuel door Q

    I notice everytime I go to put gas, the moment I open the fuel door theres a puddle of water, I know thats supposed to drain out..my question... does it drain from the left or right side of the compartment? also, I see what looks to be a drain hose directly above my rear driver side tire, I assume this is where that drains from, can I unclog it through there? or should i attack it from where the puddle is forming?

    I used a coat hanger (molded straight as i can get it) and poked it in the drain hole that is just towards the right inside of the fuel door. Just poke around till the water drains out.

        There should be a rubber tube sticking down inside the rear wheel well. Thats the drain tube.

          thanks, i did the same thing, since its 95 degrees out the water had already evaporated, guess ill wait till it rains again to see if it did anything.

            if you have a compressor, or access to one, i would use a blower tip and blow out the line from the bottom where you see the hose. have the fuel door open and cover some of the suff in the area to avoid a mess. if there is stuff clogging it, it can be blown out to clear it also besides coat hanger trick.
