The tank that came with my bike had a bad weld where the tube that petcock screws on meets the main tank. at first it wasn't leaking, but after 100 miles it vibrated open and I would get fuel on the floor. I would get it fixed before riding the bike, becuase my fuel was first running to the engine then the floor. Hot metal and gas don't mix. I ended up replacing the tank, but as soon as I get a feed welder I'll fix the old one. Also I would change out the rubber hoses on these bikes, their rubber gets stiff and cracked about after a year. The hoses that need replacing on my bike are, the fuel line to the carb, the carb bowl drain line, and the oil overflow line off the engine.
