    Do you smell/see any gas? If not you're probably ok, might just be pressure release.

    Also I pm'd you about the stickers a couple times. Depending on what part of town you're in, we could probably hook up this weekend if you wanted to get some. Just let me know.

    THats what i thought at first but the smell of the gas is so strong i wasn't sure if i was loosing gas by it vaporizing and pressure releasing. Sorry about the pm's they never showed up on my end for some reason. i have to work on sat till 4 in the afternoon and im off on sunday so just post what will be best.

    As far as my bike goes, if I have some gas in the tank and shake it I can hear the pressure releasing out of the cap. However I did have cracked fuel lines and it was leaking at the connection right by the carb., but gas never dropped on the ground so I didn't notice it for a while. I just smelled gas strongly.
