Got a leak in the bottom rear left of my fuel tank and I've found two on ebay which I'm getting. Question is, how often do these tanks crack? 2000 X1 lightning , Millineum. |

I've never heard of one cracking, other than yours, so not very often. Can you post a picture of the crack? |

Do the tanks come with fuel pumps/regulators? |

Is it possibly that the lower seal is not tight? |

Could the bike have been dropped and the tank cover changed or did you buy it new. |

I personally have never heard of one leaking without some kind of large impact or similar event. I would remove the tank and pressure check it. Or seal up the holes, submerge in water and see where the bubbles come from. I suspect however after you remove the tank and perform a close visual inspection you will find the leak is coming from a seal... Or just purchase a new tank... |
