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  :)
