• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Fuel smell from pump area of tank EFI

G'day

Been working on my bike as you can see on other threads.
I think I'm going crazy but please help me I can smell fuel at the base of the tank....thought at first it was the vent on the cap but no....

I have had the pump off and carefully replaced it back making sure it went on straight and clean
I have also made sure that the pipe latch connection had latched onto the barb.


It's been warm here also 30 degs C Australia. Sometimes I can smell a whiff of vapour when I walk near my bike but other times if i have my nose near or over the base of the tank I can smell it as we'll but not from the cap with the hose.

Everything is standard on the bike and everything has been done by husky. It is a well. Serviced bike and very clean.





Am I going crazy or is this normal. I have had this since new 2010 and been good. Only now I am having troubles
It's also done 1200 klms so is there anything I should have done or be doing to the bike maintain wise?

Husky did the 1 st service and I change the oil with motel 7100 10/60 W very 500 klms.




Please advise guys
Cheers
Adam.
 
Are you certain its not just vapour coming through the tank itself? These plastic tanks are porus, they will allow vapour to permiate through the walls but normally no liquid unless there is a leak.
 
Could be the pump flange O ring is leaking. I pulled my pump out recently, and the O ring leaked very slightly afterwards. I think it still is, as my garage stank of fuel today.
