Hi, I’ve recently noticed a leak from my fuel tank the bike a 2008 A8F. The leak is coming from under the seat area. Where there is a black sponge pad about 1/8 inch
thick. Under that is where there is an extra sheet of metal for strength. Its only spot welded in place so it’s an ideal place for water to sit & rot your tank.
The black sponge stuff is hiding the problem & holds water. Great. When it rains, water runs off the tank & under your seat & then between the two sheets of metal.
Slowly rotting the metal.
Has any one else had this problem? Does anyone know a good method of curing this problem besides replacing the tank?
