Title: Gas tank wiggles? Post by misterdub on 07/30/08 at 08:23:45 Got another "Is this normal?" question... A trickle of gas got on my tank the other day when I was filling up. I went to wipe it off and noticed the tank has a little bit of wiggle left-right. I've never seen any leaks, never had any problems, but should I get at the connections and tighten something or is this normal for some reason? |

Title: Re: Gas tank wiggles? Post by ed daugherty on 08/02/08 at 13:35:50 mine did that and i found i lost one of the rubber grommets on the frame. it's circular and about 1 inch in diameter that the tank slides onto. pull the tank off and see if it's there. there is one on each side. |
