Is this happening all the time? Are you trying to get too much fuel in the tank?

corrosion!!!!!!! I don't know about pointy's, but had/have a similar issue with my curvy.

The breather pipe runs through the tank and has corroded through on my bike causing it the drip fuel, I've just bodged a repair with some tube and some pet-seal (Still looking for a good black curvy tank). My guess is the because the breather for the rad on the curvy T's into the breather for the fuel tank, condesation builds up and causes corrosion.

mine dosnt drip.and i really really cant see your tank being corroded on K8 model so i dont think that will be the cause.

Not good, pressure test tube and see if it fizzes the fuel with a full tank.

k8 missed that...won't be corrosion for another few months.

But a manufacturing defect is also a possibilty if they haven't bonded the tube into the tank properly.
