I'm working on the back axle on our Pearl, so have the rear jacked up quite high. The petrol tank has about 2 gallons in iit and is above the level of the petrol pump.
I now find that the pump is leaking petrol, probably from the top/bowl gaskets. I haven't investigated further until I can drop the rear again, as I don't want more petrol leaking everywhere.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it the dreaded ethanol rot to the cork/rubber gaskets? Any other thoughts?
