Hi all, i have a 2000 sv650 naked which i've had for a couple of weeks now. When i 1st got it and put some fuel in (only £10 worth so not overfilled) i noticed fuel leaking out of a drain/breather pipe onto the exhaust. Had it looked at by a shop and they told me that inside the tank there is a pipe which carries any excess water away. This pipe has a hole in it and this is how the petrol is getting out, they have blanked this pipe off for me. Is there anyway to fix the hole or do i need a replacement tank. Will a tank off a faired model on the same year fit a naked?
