Fuel smell but no apprent leaks

h3avyt · Jan 5, 2021

Hi All - So I did try searching and didn't find anything relevant.

Any clues on why I have a strong fuel smell from my bike (It lives in my garage) but there is no apparent fuel leak anywhere that I can see?
The fuel cap is also pushed in and looks to be well seated.

Hi .
It could be coming from one of the drain pipe / breather connections at the bottom of the tank at the back close to the seat . I had to put resin around one of mine as it had a very slight weep .but nothing on the floor .
Drove me nuts for a while .

Hmm - I am assuming I will have to lift the tank to get access to it since the battery is blocking that location?

Hi they should be visible underneath at the sides .
Here a photo for guidance.

Not sure if it’s relevant but my Tnt always dribbles a bit of fuel out of the breather when I brim the tank...........
