On my '75 the rubber fuel line that connects fuel return to steel line above
the tank had rotted and needed replacement. This caused gas to be pumped
all over the back of the car. I spotted drips on the cement. Didn't need a
new tank just replacement of these rubber connector lines. Had to drop the
tank to get to them though. Good luck.
