Best thing to do just now Johnny , is leave it walk away and come back when your ready, if it was me I'd be throwing spanners and hammers around

I'm in a proper huff mate, I even took the tank to my local bike shop and they had a look and think it looks fine. I stink of petrol, my bike is leaking and I don't know why. Maybe the gasket was faulty, it's a genuine Honda one though.

I need vodka.

DAMMIT!!! Sorry to hear that Johnny. I feel kind of invested now so it's killing me to hear it. I think Cabaret's got the right idea though.

Old gixxers had a recall because repeated wheelies would warp the tank where the pump attached, allowing leakage even with new seals. Needed new gas tanks to fix. I'd try some RTV on both sides of gasket if your in a pinch. If that seals it, well you know what to look for.
