Hello Gang:
Thanks for the tips on my fuel smelling Tiger. I replaced the crossover
vent hose and the fuel filler hoses and gaskets yesterday. I also
"siliconed" around the fuel level sender gasket as it was suggested this
could be oozing fumes to. That being said, in my drive last night (with
the top down, so this is not definitive) I think I'm still am getting
raw fuel smell whiffs. I'm going to drive to work tommorow with the top
up so I'll report the results back to the lists. I guess if it's still
stinking it means the tanks are leaking so I guess that's my next fun
job. I'm getting black flakes in my fuel filter anyway so it seems I'll
need to do the tanks regardless.
Does anyone supply "re-done" (cleaned out, pressure sealed and
re-coated) or new/old stock tanks? That would be the easiest....taking
out the old and installing good tanks at the same time.
Thanks!
