Default Fuel leak from tank area

Well yesterday i went to fill up with petrol. It had a 1/4 in tank and as i got to around 70 litres i noticed petrol around my feet. Looked under neath to see petrol leaking down the side of the tank.
Has anyone got any ideas before i pull bed off to find out.

Not a whole lot it could be... filler neck hose, tank seal where the fuel pump goes, or a cracked tank.

Ok so I got under the truck tonight and found the smal pipe that goes to the filler neck had come of the tank. Clipped it back on and seems to be great. Time will tell
