hahaha reminds me of the fuel leak i had one time could not find out where it was coming from a friend came by lit a match. guess what i did not need to fix it no more
burnt to the ground  hahaha. he did that to my bike too we could not tell how much gas was in the tank so he lit a match  hahaa had a fire out the top of the tank
save the bike on that one just put a hat on top of it to kill the flame. it was pretty cool to see. but now friend is dead and gone. no more fires.
it was always exciting when he was around  hahaha kept u on your toes. :headbang:  miss my buddy :loco:

Don't know if this will help, but using a small diameter - say 1/4" - tubing and waving it around / poking it into the likely places whilst sniffing may help to locate the leak.

Too much sniffing and they'll probably arrest you though  :bugeye: (and it will give you one hell of a headache  :hammer:)

It might be possible to get a dye that you can put in the tank which will leave a witness mark where the leak(s) is.

Good luck, they can be really hard to find. If its an old fuel injection system it may well be leaking from more than one place.
