does your bike smell

Post by chaz »

:oops:

just a question, since Ive had the storm the garage smells bad of petrol!

Ive got 3 other bikes ( 2 non runners) which have been in there all along , and a couple of jerry cans ( 1 filled recently) but when I open the doors there is a really strong smell of petrol. never been this bad before, only difference is the storm.

has anyone had problems with the fuel tap or lines leaking or changed on a period basis>? its a '97 one with 30,000 on .
the 3 bikes that are ok or motors turn all start up ok so its not a carb leaking and the storm seems dry everywhere.
puzzled!! worried! as Ive got 4 optimates hooked up atthe moment.

Yellow ones don't smell.
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?
