Tank is leaking?

Started my 103 Fatboy up today and noticed liquid dripping on the right side onto the transmission case. Smelled it and realized that it's gas. Is there something that I should tighten?

Look under the left side of the tank near the rear, there should be an elbow there, gently push up on it to make sure it is locked in place. This is the fuel line from the tank to your injectors. The only other place under the tank would be the bypass tube at the front, it would most likely drip on the oil filter though.

I touched the fuel tube connector which hooks the tube into the bottom of the tank. It was wet and smelled like gas. I will double check that it's sealed.

if its still under warranty, I wouldn't mess with it.. let the dealer do it, it may need some new parts.

Lift the silver portion of the connector and push up to ensure that it is seated properly and then take it to the dealer. It sounds like it is not connected all the way.
