Title: Fuel Leak
Post by: Big Rich on May 05, 2006, 20:16:19

I filled SWMBO's 90 up with diesel until the pump clicked twice to say it was full.  :lol:

Drove down the road and the rear and side was covered in diesel.  :shock:  :oops:

I did remember that when I removed the filler cap at the garage it was under pressure.  :?  When I took the cap of back home it was under pressure the other way and shot some diesel out.

Anyone know what is wrong? Cap rubber seal looks okay.

could it be a blocked breather for the tank?
