I have had the cooler Fuel from underground heat up over the engine on a warm day and expand causing some fuel to show up.Jonbkahn wrote:I just took 4" of fuel hose and slapped it on the vapor vent pipe with a hose clamp, then bent the end of the hose in half and put a second hose clamp on that. I didn't pressure test the tank, but next time I top off after a long ride and let the fuel in the tank heat up & expand, I'll try to look with a mirror for leaks. Or maybe stuff a piece of paper under it and then inspect for signs of moisture?
From what you say though of what you did, you probably will not find any leaking.....at this time.
Perhaps over time, the 180 degree bend in the flexible Fuel Hose might develop a Split or Crack at the sharp fold-over that may leak.
