My 2008 Dyna Super Glide Custom is leaking fuel from the tank and bubbling the paint and there is nothing that can be done untill a new tank they ordered for me comes in in 12 weeks which I will most likely get stuck paying for because Seaford Harley hasent gotten notice of a recall on this bike and mine is the 4th one taken back there for the same problem.Gee im glade it dident burst into flames as i rode.

  I have same problem on 2009 dyna fxdc .If I push down hard on lid when tighten and click it a few times while still pushing it down it will not leak, But if you tighten it like you should and click it 10 times it still leaks. You must push down hard if you don’t need a gas ass.
