Here's a peculiar update.

First, i've put a lot of miles on my tank, with a lot of drops, scratches, & jostling. It 'takes a licking & keeps on ticking'.

2. the suction pump did not work at first. I got down to the wings, & ran out. I usually filled up before it got that low, anyway. But this last trip to moab, i was riding against the wind, & had worse than usual fuel economy. I couldn't see the level, but thought i had plenty to get to mexican hat, ut. I did, but the level was below the pump! For some reason, the vacuum pump started working without me taking it apart & fiddling with it.. something i had been planning on doing for a couple of years.

I haven't ridden it long enough to see whether or not the vacuum pump is working properly but I plan on testing it in the next few days.

My wife and I both got the 4.75 gallon tanks, and while mine (natural) seems to be ok so far, my wife's developed a leak at the brass bung on the lower LH side.
I called IMS and they said, "yeah, some of the early tanks did that- we'll send you out a replacement." OK, cool, I thought...

The new tank they sent has the same date stamp on the bottom, but obviously has some teflon tape around the threads on both the lower bungs. :hmmm:

Well, might as well try and see if it works, so I drained her (just filled of course) old tank, and got it off the bike. Once off, I noticed her old tank was also leaking a little at the fuel pump flange!
Putting a straight edge on the mounting surface, it is obvious the tank has deformed a bit between every mounting screw, and caused the tank to leak in a very bad place.
The viton o-ring supplied by IMS is in perfect shape, and shows impressions from the rough surface on the tank, but it was definitley leaking.

Before I go through the trouble of installing the new tank, has anyone else's been leaking? Should I try some sort of goop in addition to the oring? We've got vacation planned in a couple of weeks (my only one this year),
and we need the range the big IMS provides...

Thanks-
Aaron

Same as mine, look here for the details: https://wr250rforum.forumotion.com/t6319-fixing-a-leaking-ims-tank
