I searched through the many fuel tank leak posts and have not seen the issue I am having with my 2008 990 SDR. I have had the slow dribble from the external rear vent connector, especially with a full tank. I replaced the rubber gasket that helped, but am having the dribble again, even with the tank lid cracked open to relieve any pressure buildup. Today I removed the fuel lid entirely and used compressed air to blow through the two vent lines to check for blockage. To my surprise, there was air blowing inside the tank from the internal lines connecting the fuel lid to the two external vent fittings. Upon closer inspection, the internal lines are hard and deformed with several spots that are leaking. This is going to be a real pain to fix, if it is even possible. These internal hoses are not on any part diagrams and are likely only replaceable with a whole brand new tank, which I am not going to do. Just wondering if anyone has had to deal with this situation before and may have some possible suggestions. I'll take a closer look inside after I empty some fuel on the next ride.
