Hi all. It's been colder than usual recently. Filled tank. Made fast U turn, saw leak at filler cap. Easy fix. Days later, tank full, saw fuel spots as I backed down driveway. Saw fresh stains where I normally park. <insert expletives> Would cold weather cause filler pipe O ring and/or metal vent pipe O ring at tank to shrink and leak? I repositioned that vent pipe this Summer, but it sealed fine for several thousand KM's and may still be ok. Just want to narrow things down before I get my arms into the tank ...... again. Neil.
