Hi I've just filled the tank up on my Triumph Stag, I filled it pretty
much to the brim. I noticed quite a bad leak coming from underneath
the tank before I drove off and this was a drip every second. After
I'd left it for half an hour the leak had stopped and it's now bone
dry????

How empty was it? Had it been empty for a while? Could the cork gasket
under the fuel gauge sender have dried out?

Hi this is possible as I'd run it very low and just left it to stand
for a few days. The other possibility - the breather is also as I did
fill it well. It was coming from underneath the car I think the fuel
tank isn't open to the elements. Well it's OK now so thanks everyone
for the replies!


Just don't brim it next time, then. Whatever it was, it's unlikely to
have healed.
