Explorer Fuel Leak

Tell your dealer that you are contacting Triumph H.O - bet they cure it then.

 

Who was the dealer?

 

I am not familiar with the Exporer tank arrangement but it is an unpressurised hose so not the efi flow or return.
If it leaks there are 4 possibilities I can think of:

The stub fitting in the tank is fractured (unlikely) or distorted (again unlikely)
The spring clip has lost its tension
The hose is not fully pushed home
The hose is split - possibly punctured by clumsy manipulation of the spring clip.

I would visually inspect the hose, having slipped the clip out of the way. If the last cm is damaged you should have ebough to snip of the end and refit. In either event I would replace the spring clip with a small jubilee fitted for a more secure union.

 

Hint. A small vacuum cap or brake nipple cap (to replace your finger!) will seal the tank while you fiddle with the hose.

 

Set fire to the bike and claim for a new one as the dealer knew there was a problem. That will fire them up a bit!
Seriously its not good enough.

 

I find that giving Phillip a good talking to usually gets problems solved.

 

Hello Guy and welcome to the Asylum - Nursie will be around soon with your meds.

Unfortunately the only advice I can offer on a potential safety issue like fuel leaks, is to take it back to the dealer and 'encourage' them to look again. Ask them to sign a declaration that the bike will not catch fire, due to this leak ?

 

Dealer needs to sort it and stop being a Tw*t!

 

Great news - totally agree - way too long for a simple repair
