Fuel leak when fueling?

Quick question. Everytime I fill the car up, I get some fuel drips right under the gas tank. But after a few seconds, it stops and doesn't leak anymore. Any ideas why it would be doing this. I would have figured if I was leaking fuel, it would be continuous but it only happens when I'm putting gas in the car.

Thanks for your help!

Mike

get your a$$ under there and check it out with your 2 eyes. If i would have to guess you have a leak somewhere along the fuel tube connecting to your tank. Maybe a bad seal.

IDK

Good Luck finding it

Fuel tube and tank is held together by a rubber coupler above the axle. Check factory clamps.
