Question
I tried to start my bike and fuel started to flow out a hose located on a clip under my seat, where is that hose coming from, I looked for the origin and cannot find it. What would be the causes of this problem?? please help thanks

Answer
Gary,
Is this hose open or closed on the end?
If it is open it is likely the gas tank
vent or drain tube. Does this
leak often or just occasionally? Could
just be from some pressure built up in the tank.
It could also be one of the small hoses from
the fuel pump or fuel filter leaking.
You will have to check the tank/fuel gauge hoses.
