oh. no. petrol leak

[marcus1875]

To be fair, its not new. Whenever i fill full,it leaks.
What do you think, before i start ripping it apart. Top breather perhaps?

Thats nothing...When i went to Belgium with some friends a while back Chris filled the Gredge up a tad too much and i was a bit concerned as there was a small amount pishing out on the N/S overtime we stopped..I told him about it when we stopped at some lights and he just laughed...
Then when we were going along an old WW2 route with loads of people dotted about one guy pointed and said.."Fuel is leaking"...I said..."Nah its okay"...He looked at me funny cos i pointed at Chris...Then when we parked at the top near a war memorial someone pointed out to me that it was me pishing fuel and i mean "Gushing"...It was pouring out of the cap...The other guys were laughing however i wasn't cos people were walking past smoking.......Eventually it stopped so a historical site was saved from total destruction!....The atmospheric breather is at the rear wheel arch and petrol will spill out if you fill up too much..Its when it starts syphoning out the cap you want to worry...Unless of course its coming from a fuel hose between the tanks then it would need sorting ASAP....

Holed fuel tank? My left one corroded through near the top face seam, couldn't see the hole or the leak until the tank was removed but by god you could smell it.
I always blamed the fumes on the breather but it clearly wasn't that.
