Listees, '87 Westy, just over 50k miles, suddenly developed some sort of fuel (fume?) leak in the tank area. No dripping, no spots under the bus, but a strong odor of gas after driving. I have my Bentley manual open to the Digifant tank illustration on pages 20-26,27. Looks like MANY places to leak from. Any suggestions where to start looking? Ideas for troubleshooting? This problem appeared after filling the tank w/ the gaspump nozzle set on extra low flow. I was happy to have filled the tank without belching gas out the filler for a change, until we got out at home & the gas odor hit us. Ron Komoroski PS. Walt, no, we don't want to sell, are we going to see you at the VA Guzzi rally? |
