Consumer Description

THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP FLANGE (PLATE THAT SEALS THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND IS THE CONNECTIONS FOR THE FUEL PUMP) HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE "BOSS" FITTING FOR THE QUICK DISCONNECT HOSE FITTINGS. AFTER APPLYING A FIX FOR THIS, I'VE NOTICED WHAT APPEARS TO BE A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE PLASTIC PLATE ITSELF, JUST BELOW THE METAL SCREW CAP RING. GAS WEEPS FROM THIS CRACK FAST ENOUGH TO FILL THE RECESS OF THE FUEL PUMP LID AND BEGINS DRIPPING DOWN THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE GAS TANK ONTO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND EXHAUST. FAILURE OF THE PARTS OF THE FUEL SYSTEM RESULTING IN LEAKS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS BOTH A POTENTIAL FIRE ISSUE, AS WELL AS A VERY SPECIFIC FUEL SPILLAGE/ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. *TR
