We're pretty sure it's leaking fuel from the oring that seals the tank and holds the pump in place. Won't know for sure until he drops the tank.
It was fun. You should have been there.

Mine did that and ended up being a broken fitting and not the ring

Its just cause we love ya Skwerly :shhh:

Speak for yourself.

Yeah, I was wondering about your "problem" too, Matt. You didn't mention what it was. There was no fire, was there?

Nope no fire!

Just a really strong smell of fuel. Friday night on Holcomb, Rick & Kyung both said they could smell fuel when driving behind me. Further investigation in daylight reveiled a good fuel stain running down the front of the tank from the pump assembly area...... i'll have to drop the tank in the next day or so & work it out. Either the seal or a fitting like Dan said must be the culprit.

if it is a fitting make sure you check them all I fixed one and thought I was done and broke another when putting the damn tank back in.

Good idea Dan. Im thinking i'll also replace the pump & filters while im there, ive got 105 000 on the original one now. I'll keep the original one as a spare.
