Leaky Tank

Post by Mav617 »

Hi all,

The fuel sender mounts on the bottom of the tank with four bolts. The rear right hand of the four won't seal and it's pissing petrol out all over the bike when it's running. I've taken it off and tried fastening it back down being careful to tighten the bolts but to no avail. Is there any kind of gasket I can use?
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!
