Fuel leak
Hello all:
I just came back from a 40 mile ride, and just happen to notice I have a fuel leak at the quick connect. any of you got any idea what might cause this? I just drained the tank and am going to see if I can see anything obvious. oh. it's a 2008 1200 custom.
thanks all..Bill

The dealer may not have a part number for the 'o' ring for the fuel line.
However the oil drainplug 'O ' ring on a twincam is the same one , and they do have that one ..
hope this helps

Have you done any modes to your bike like a tank lift kit? There has been a few cases here on the forum of people doing tank lifts and the quick disconnect keeps comming partway disconnected. Each time they discovered that they had to keep pushing the connector back on until it clicks, only to have it come loose again. Not everyone that has a tank lift has had this problem but almost all that have had a recurring problem with the connector coming loose have had a tank lift.
