Fuel Leak
« on: May 05, 2006, 20:16:19 »
I filled SWMBO's 90 up with diesel until the pump clicked twice to say it was full.  :lol:

Drove down the road and the rear and side was covered in diesel.  :shock:  :oops:

I did remember that when I removed the filler cap at the garage it was under pressure.  :?  When I took the cap of back home it was under pressure the other way and shot some diesel out.

Anyone know what is wrong? Cap rubber seal looks okay.
