[QUOTE="zuren, post: 484405, member: 22314"] Since this is motor related, I figured this is best place to post. I have the original metal fuel tank for my engine. The other day, I accidently had the vent closed on the cap and the tank was in the sun. Fuel was venting up around some of the screws on the fuel pickup (see blue arrows). I have not had it apart, so I'm not sure if that behavior can be expected or if there should be gaskets/seals preventing that from happening. I wanted to ask what I should expect to see before I do any "exploratory surgery". I can also get fuel to weep up around those screws if I give the tank a shake...as in, when I add 2-stroke oil and/or SeaFoam and trying to get it mixed...or if the ride on the water is particularly bumpy. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
