Thanks for all the informative video’s, they really help me prevent more issues. My fuel pump is leaking so i’m taking the tank off today, i hope there isn’t any big problem 🤞🏻
Had a look at mine yesterday and it looks like the connector has totally corroded off!🙈 The pipe wasn't even connected!lol Hopefully I can get what's left of it out and replaced.🤞🏻😅
Not necessarily about this but can you replace the fuel delivery line that sits under the tank with an an6 line kit and 12mm banjo connectors?(second gen rsv)
Please help,i'm in a world of pain.I was doing this very drilling part but my tank was tied up to the roof of my shed and i was managing quite easily to drill in-situ,however,ahem,the tank moved a little while drilling and snapped the drill bit!!!Do these taps unscrew out?They have a hex afterall?Thanks.
I have the same nylon or plastic tank and it is cracked at the base where the fuel pump sits. Does anybody here know if there is an epoxy or anything i can use on this tank material to seal it for good?
Fazer 600 1999 My water drain is clogged poked it with wire, lube, air compressor all sorts of things it's a bit tricky as there is a right angle ben Black stuff
Just wondering if just changing the connector would be more adventurous £4 part 2B001203 as it’s usually only the plug that reacts to the water the tube should be fine.
This can be done, by hand, with the tank in situ, raised to its max. I suggest a 2mm drill as anything smaller is at risk of breaking, then you're in a new world of shite. Turn the drill half a turn then remove and clean, repeat until clear. I put some light oil down mine to try to delay further corrosion.
@@ianfirmin Good for you buddy ! Did you wait until you had water in your tank or was it a preemptive move. I noticed water slipping into my tank after I washed the bike, mines an 08 RSV factory, red white & black and I fkin love it !
@@nigelmitchell351 I just visited your 'world of shite',managed to escape back to normality though as the bloody drain plugs just screw out,then i just poked drill bit out!By the way that 'world of shite' really made me laugh,a place i've been to too often!
Probably a split /leaking breather or water drain hose INSIDE the tank. Instead of it draining water, it's draining fuel once the fuel level is at the height of the damage in the hose.

Thanks for that, just did mine. I used a 2mm drill, is that enough? What drill dia. are you using if I may ask?
Just did this
Would that cause pressure to build up in the tank?
Damn! How long / deep does that drain go? There’s rubber hoses inside the tank connecting that spigot to the cap, right?
There's a plastic coating around those hoses that can't be detached. If you can't unblock it with a drill, try an iron wire.

Attempting to remove the plug usually ends up with it coming permanently detached or broken ... drilling it out save time and hassle dude 👍🏻

@@nigelmitchell351 I did this myself yesterday. Didn't need to move the tank at all. A real life saver. '17 TV4 Factory.

My bike is leaking fuel when I put more than 5/1.2 litres any ideas where from or why
Where does it leak from?
Probably a split /leaking breather or water drain hose INSIDE the tank. Instead of it draining water, it's draining fuel once the fuel level is at the height of the damage in the hose.
