The problem with mine is that the damn "y-connector" that is on the drivers side of the top of the gas tank, has just snapped from its tube (which runs over to the passenger side). It normally runs between the two plastic gas "overflow pressure vent" containers... there is another Y-connecter on the passenger side. The other day I pulled the wheel, and took a closer look at this nasty little tube, and I can see it, I can touch it... but there seems to be no way in Hell that I could do any kind of repair on it without dropping the gas tank. Maybe this is no big deal... but i do not really want to deal with it right now. I fill my tank to 3/4 full.. and no more. I am probably losing a few gallons a week to evaporation alone though. Hope this helps. Good Luck, RSF <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ Robert S.
