Gas Leak!!!!



Hello All,
     Hoping you can help me.  My RS has a fuel leak.  Not a leak in the
since it is dumping its contents on the ground, but the fumes are over
whelming.  The fumes were strong enough that they seeped into my house.
Some more history.  While in for its 500 mile service they tightened the
fuel pump mounting plate (the large gold plate where the fuel lines go into
the tank.)  They also straightened a kink in a fuel line that has a petcock
in it.  I know you are supposed to keep your pet cocks on a leash, but this
one had a kink in it, or was it just plain kinky.  Anyways?.  I now would
like to fix this my self.  I can see there is a minute gap around the fuel
pump mounting plate, I am guessing this is my culprit.  Can someone go out
and look at theirs and see if there is a small gap or is it flush mounted.
Even better can someone post the torque values for this plate (it uses some
small (maybe 8mm) bolts, and there are about 10 or so of them)?  Also, does
anyone know where this ?petcock? is at, as I want to see if there is a kink
again.  Since I would like to try and wrap this up tonight so I can ride
tomorrow I am posting my phone number (please no heavy breathers).

Thanks, Thanks and some more thanks,
