I had my bike serviced after sitting for far too long. Shop determined fuel pump was bad and ordered a rebuild kit. I've ridden the bike a bit over 400 miles since getting it back...ran fine. I would often smell a little gas when stopped and had a faint smell in the garage, but didnt think anything of it eally.
Until the other morning when I was awakened at 530 am by a very strong odor of gas. My bedroom is directly over the garage. It took me a few min to realize, and I went down to the garage and it was awful! my eyes burned, I was hesitant to turn on the light switch or kick off the garage door opener for fear of an earth shattering kaboom. In hindsight I should have opened the doors manually, but yolo.
anyway...Ive got the tank drained and lifted, and have the two electrical connections , the vent hoses and one of the 90 degree hoses off (the easy one with clamp) this is where the leak is.
The nipple that attaches to the housing has play in it. Should there be ANY play in that at all? I havent determined if it was a bad hose/nipple connection or if the housing itself is bad.
