Hello!!
I've had a couple of problem free months with the RR but something new has appeared and I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.
If I fill it up with petrol the petrol smell is very strong. As I use more fuel the smell goes away.
Yesterday I filled it up, got home, and noticed that fuel was running down the back of the tank onto the floor. I've taken some fuel out of the tank and even been for a drive and it's stopped leaking, so I reckon the problem occurs depending on the amount of fuel in the tank.
The tank was replaced about 9 months ago, although not by me.
I'm guessing that the fuel is leaking out around the pump on the top of the tank???
I accept that I will need to drop the tank, but what do I use to seal the join between the pump and the tank????
Is there a certain gasket or do I need some kind of funky sealer???
Any pointers would be great!!
Thanks
Steve
