Hi guys,
The tank is leaking petrol - a very slow weep, but enough to make a smell and to stain the parts of the bike frame it runs down. It also means I can't leave the bike with any useful amount of fuel in the tank.
As near as I can tell, the tank and fuel expanded one hot summer's day and the mounting bracket didn't have enough movement to allow for this. So the carbon fibre cracked somewhere near the bracket.
Murphy (of course) has dictated that this spot is in the least accessible corner of the tank, where no human fingers can reach, and not even a "camera on a bendy arm" could easily get to.
I've made some enquiries and been pointed to a place that's (by pure luck) about 5 minutes from home. So I'll be dropping in to them for a chat.
So let us see what the experts have to say...
Cheers,
V
