Default gas leak

i cannot get this bike to stop leaking. before tonight it was just a small leak. i come home tonight and it looks like my whole tank is on the floor. any one have any pictures/diagrams of what all the gas lines go to so i can see if something is screwed up. its a 96 f3 600.

that sucks. Look at your pipes carefully for any tears. Can you tell the general location of the leak?

It could very well still be a sticking float. If your not turing your petcock off, gravity is constantly trying to push gas into your carbs. If the needle isnt seating completely, it will let gas into the carb.

If your not already, turn your petcock off after riding. If you are turning it off, then its not shutting off like it suppose to and will need to be rebuilt.
