I smelled gas in my garage this morning. A small puddle was found under my X1. So I wheeled it out to the street and looked it over in the sun. The source was the underside of the fuel tank where the wires come out. I tightened up the big nut under the tank and hosed it off. It doesn't seem to be leaking now. I only bring this up since it has never done this before and I have a big pile of miles on it. You folks have any experience with a leak there? Should I prepare for a real failure now? | ||

My '99 S3 did that at about 48,000mi. I had just ridden 1,700mi. to the Phoenix area and the day I was ready to head home I had gas all over. My buddy was impressed with how fast I pulled off the soft saddlebags, popped the seat, removed the tank, tightened the nut and had it all back together. All in about 15-20 minutes. It hasn't leaked since. | ||

Thanks for that. I guess I won't worry about it then. |
