I've been chasing a pesky fuel smell for a while on my 50. It was just on occasion, not always.
I thought it was the filler neck hoses, so I changed those out yesterday.
I left the seat back out and went to fill er up today as I usually do every two weeks.
Well it was not to hoses that we leaking. Its leaking at the tank where the filler pipes attach
...video.... I don't know if you can make it out but when I push down on the rag gas was coming out to bottom of the small pipe flange.
I was surprised I found that.
The tank is just a few years old, and a spectra tank.
Looks like they missed some solder in that area.
So here's my question
Will any product seal that area?
ie. jb weld/ epoxy? Anything?
I would like to try to seal it first before buying a new tank.
Even if I do get a new tank I need to drive the 16 gallons out so I will attempt something.
Thanks
