Since it's a 2003 I assume it's under warranty. Call your dealer and have them get you a new tank. Mine leaked around the cap and they replaced the tank. I didn't even have to take it in, they shipped it to me.

I'd teflon tape the connections. I don't know how tight you can take them, but I wouldn't go too far!

Yep, went through 4 tanks. I was not gonna mess with the connection. They gave me new tanks everytime. This last time I got the new one with connectors in the front. No more leaks!!! There is a lot less pressure on the fittings in the front since there is very little gas up there.

HEy guys,

My gas tank is leaking where the quick connects screw into the plastic tank - not the quick disconnects themselves, but the portion that actually is mounted on the tank. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone know how much I can tighten these down? Teflon tape?

Thanks,
