The two common causes for a toilet tank hose leak are the threads and the hose itself. Turn the water off, unscrew the hose, and wrap the threads with Teflon tape available at any hardware store. Reconnect the hose and turn the water back on. It it still leaks, consider replacing the hose as it may have a hole in it.

there is a gasket beetween the tank and the bowl. the gasket could either be pinched or need to be replaced. It's an easy fix, and you can find standard gaskets at your local hardware store. there should be two or three bolts underneath the bowl. be sure to shut the water off first and flush the toilet as many times as possible to get the water out of the tank. Good luck.AnswerThere are two possible causes why your toilet tank leaks when flushed.The mostcommon one would be your tank to bowl gasket that sits between your tank & bowl.you would need to replace it.The secound can be tricky.Check in your tank andmake sure your fill tube is in the overflow.This tube fills your bowl when you flush.If it is out it can cause a leak even if your T.top is on..

How much should you pay to install a toilet?
Depends on whether you already purchased it and whether other parts are needed. If you have the toilet, a Kant leak, a wax seal,FLEXIBLE toilet supply, and the (nuts,bolts and washers) for screwing the toilet to the floor flange, plumber should not charge more than one hour of his rate to install it. Make sure the plumber does NOT silicone around the toilet. If there is a leak from the wax seal under the toilet and it is siliconed, the water stays under the toilet and rots the floor, if you are on a wood floor.
Why does your shower leak once the toilet is flushed?
The drains for the shower, toilet and sink all connect to a common line. Assuming the toilet is not backing up, the problem indicates that there may be a partial blockage, enough so that some of the toilet flow is backing up through the shower drain line. You need plumbing repair. The shower leak you mention should only be in the shower, or else you have a broken drain line as well.

Could an unleveled toilet flange be the cause for a toilet leaking water from the tank?
An "unlevel" toilet flange might be a little difficult for a wax ring to seal, but could not in any way be responsible for a tank leak. If the tank is leaking between the tank and bowl, remove the tank, check the tank itself for a crack or defect, then check the flange gasket and tank bolts and gaskets. How do you know your flange is unlevel?

How do you change the back gas tank on 1991 Ford F150?
If you have a spair tire, remove it and the holder. Drain the tank. Support the tank. There are two straps with two bolts each(front and back of the tank) to be removed. Lower it slightly to gain access to the fill hose. This is a rubber hose over another hose that goes into the tank. There is a hose clamp on it. There is a plug for the sending unit to be removed. You can reach it on top of the tank and pull it out. On top are two fuel lines. They have a plastic clip inserted in them that pushes out and allows you to plull the lines off the fittings. Some gas may leak out of these lines when you pull them off. If you are not going to replace the tank you have to plug the lines so or they will leak. If you are replacing the tank make suure you know which fuel line is which.
