Hole in the gas tank?

Post by qynar »

Hi everyone. Just got my new 2016 hooligan this week. I filled up gas today and drove a few miles to get home. Went I came back out notice a big smell of gas in the air. Looked over the scoot and there is a hole in the bottom of the floor pan where gas is dripping. It is dripping very slow. I"m going to talk to my dealer tomorrow but I didn't think that should be there.

How full did you fill it? Better check your air filter. Can't overfill it will muck up the emission system.

Don't fill to the lid. Keep the fill level an inch or two below the rim.

Took it to my dealer. The leak came from gas line. The clamp that came on it was was not working so they replaced with two new clamps and no more issues.
