Just when you think you get ALL the gas leaks stopped......

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i've got a newer tank on the rieger, so it must have been done before i
bought it.
for those getting the recall done, make sure you remind them to install the
tank PROPERLY. the proper way is to fish the fuel lines through AFTER the
tank is in. i had to fix a funky fuel issue on the rieger because the
return-to-tank line was pinched flat between the tank and the chassis.
basically on hot days i would get random loss of prime on the main pump as
the reservoir gradually filled with air, sending a nice slug of it through
the pump after ~10 minutes of driving.
