Gas Smell !!!

[Spyderjockey]

Gas odor gone!!

I had posted about my gas problem a while ago which really became dramatic to where I could see gasoline running down the sides of my Spyder below the gas tank if I hit the brakes real hard. I took off the side panels and had a friend stand by the side of the Spyder where I stopped and he could see the gas was coming from under the fuel pump module. I found from a parts list that I probably needed the retaining kit just under that module. I ordered it and received it yesterday and with quite a lot of "stick-to-it-of-ness" my son and I were able to get the parts changed. I took it down and filled up, hit the brakes real hard a few times and no odor and no gas spillage. I will ryde it more today to make sure the problem is cured, but I believe it is. Will post how I make out later tonight. This might be a problem other people have that are expierencing the gas fume odor.:2thumbs:

We just got back from a ryde today and as I said in my previous post I changed the retaining kit on my Spyder and I have had absolutely no gas odor after filling the gas tank today. Not sure why the rubber gasket was allowing gasoline to leak by......but it was. It was a pretty tedious job to change it but it did take care of the problem. Just wanted to let you guys know how I cured my 'gas odor" problem.:clap:
