Apologies if this has been asked before, but the search doesn't work for "fuel tap" - one word's too short, the other too common. Anyway, a non-SV question:

125 2003 Suzuki Marauder.

The fuel tap has not been turned off since I got it, but recently when parked up its started leaking fuel from the overflow. Lots of fuel. Like...."no smoking in the car park" amounts of fuel.

I'm not sure if its vacuum or gravity fed, yet.

a) why has it just started doing this? I've filled it to the brim more than once and its never complained like this.

b) should" everyone" be expected to shut off a fuel tap every time you park up (if you have one) - lengthy periods yes, but every day?

Cheers
Firestarter.
