From what I remember when I replaced the gas tank in my old Grand Am (which is probably almost the same as your Grand Prix) it shouldn’t be too hard of a job. Here is a diagram so you know what your looking at. The part seems pretty cheap assuming it’s what you need.

> [@justa4door](#): > > F i dont even like doing gas shit I generally just do it out in the driveway instead of in the garage. Gas vapor is heavier that air so it’s going to settle right along the ground. ---

Definitely am not going to start taking things apart. Don’t know what I’m doing so I would end up causing more problems. ---

is it throwing a check engine light? Take it some where and smoke check it for leaks. Filler neck is really the only logical answer from the info that you provided. ---

No, not check engine light. And it only leaks when I am filling up so I am convinced that it is the filler neck, not the gas tank. ---

I know a few people told you to take it to a shop and that you didn’t want to take anything apart also. I would at least run your car up on some ramps and give it a good look. From what I remember this should be a very simple job. Find a car buddy to give you a hand. Run the car out of gas and take the gas cap off to air it out. If it’s over your head then take it to a shop. I would at least take a look at it first. ---
