Author Message   Bill_williamkill Posted on Friday, January 03, 2014 - 01:31 pm:        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.   Hootowl Posted on Friday, January 03, 2014 - 03:41 pm:        I've never heard of one cracking, other than yours, so not very often. Can you post a picture of the crack?   Hootowl Posted on Friday, January 03, 2014 - 03:41 pm:        Do the tanks come with fuel pumps/regulators?   Oldog Posted on Friday, January 03, 2014 - 03:45 pm:        Is it possibly that the lower seal is not tight?   Analbeard Posted on Friday, January 03, 2014 - 05:57 pm:        Could the bike have been dropped and the tank cover changed or did you buy it new.   Kc_zombie Posted on Friday, January 03, 2014 - 10:06 pm:        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...
