fuel leak

[lfcm]

So I got some fuel leaking in on the drivers side of the tank... apparently its because the breather pipe has broken in two basically. So apparently the fuel tank has to come out for the pipe to get sorted. I don't have time or money to spend on it right now, can I just block the breather part of the tank?

The breather is there for a reason mate, I wouldn't advise blocking it.

Is it only leaking when you have a full tank? I had that issue. I just ran with 3/4 tank max.

[lfcm]

Did you end up fixing it after a wile?
If so, was there need to take out the tank?

[Novasport]

No, not fixed it yet but the tank will need to be lowered or removed.

its only 1/2" pipe. if you blank it, you'll never successfully fill your tank again.. if you are truly desperate, use some hosepipe

[lfcm]

Hose pipe? The pipe that snapped off was only about 8mm wide... is there 2 breather pipes?

[mowgli]

oh, its not the one that usually seems to go..

just get some cheapo fuel line & get it fitted.
