Consumer Description
MY GARAGE INTERIOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. ON INSPECTION OF MY MOTORCYCLE (2006, BMW K1200S) IT WAS FOUND THAT THE GASOLINE WAS LEAKING FROM CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC (AT THE ATTACHMENT POINT SURROUNDING THE FEMALE QUICK DISCONNECT) OF THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING. THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING IS A SEPARATE PART THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE FUEL TANK. WHEN THIS FUEL TANK WAS REMOVED (FROM THE MOTORCYCLE) FOR A CLOSER INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE GASOLINE LEAK WAS LOCATED DIRECTLY OVER THE STARTER AND ALTERNATOR OF THIS MOTORCYCLE (A DIRECT IGNITION SOURCE FOR THE FUEL AND FUMES). *TR
