Not oil leak - Petrol leak - double "Bugger"...! - SV650.org

It wasn't simply oil that was leaking I have a hole in my tank, and it's not the hole you put petrol in.

Recovery truck coming to collect the bike, just in case a stray fag end ignites my baby

What do you normally do for a hole in the tank, can it be repaired or do I need a new tank..? The hole appears to be underneath at the back on the left. Looks like it's corroded a bit and fuel is leaking thru.

Wondered why my mileage was pants...!

Same thing happened to my friends SV. He got it repaired and it was fine afterwards. Not sure how much it cost though.
