Jim, you can pressure test the tank and line to see if this is the problem.Remove the tank and plug all connections and pressure test it.A competant radiator shop should be able to handle it for you.In light of the fact that a new tank costs over $400.00 I would recommend it. My tank recently got crushed in by a bozo tire installer....("I thought that was the frame I was jacking up....DUHHHHH") I removed my tank and my rad man pressurized it to 15lbs and it popped the dents out...and gave me 2 more gals. capacity to boot.....listen up vanagoners....more reserve. Anyway it was a cheap fix...$15.00 vs. $440.00. Ed Berroth 84 Westy Wolf 87 Stinkcrow
