Thanks for the warnings John. :) All fuel lines, O-rings on FI's done near/at the same time. I replaced the tank, all seals/hoses and checked/resealed valves on expansion tanks just this year. It's likely I just didn't tighten those two zap straps enough. Just don't want to drop the tank *again*, but your warnings are taken under advisment :)
