LIKE 200i / Gas leak from new Like
« on: August 28, 2014, 03:28:18 AM »
I just bought a new 2013 Like200i (.7 miles on the odo). I rode it home from the dealer (~25 mi), and later went out with my car and got a 5 gallon can of ethanol-free 91 octane gas. Filled the tank on the Like from the can. Was a clean job and not a drop spilled (new can designs help keep that from happening). A half hour later, I went out to do a better job of attaching the license plate than what the dealer had done, and I noticed gasoline dripping from the engine area. I popped up the seat to look at the filler area and it was clean but I decided to open it up. There was some pressure but nothing I would consider excessive. It had been sitting in the sun after filling it with cool gasoline. I took it for a ride and it was okay and haven't noticed any leak since (a day and 1/2).
I'm a big newbie to to this .. is that leak something that will happen with a full tank as it sits in the sun?
Thanks for any wisdom you can share.
