swapped out the fuel tank
I finally felt comfortable enough to take the 55 out for a nice long drive as it has performed very well locally meaning 50 or less miles . I filled it up never looked back drove it an easy an extremely smooth 125 miles round trip , but kept getting a wiff of gas every now an then , parked it an crawled under it fuel tank had leaks . sorry no pics , but I ordered a new fuel tank from tanks inc. an would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs or is suspicious that they need a tank , I was so impressed by the information on their site an the high quality of the tank I received . its not a concours replacement tank but it is damned near it !
