R1200RT 2008 fuel leak
Posted: Mon Jul 01, 2024 4:35 pm
Hello everyone,
I own a 2008 BMW R1200RT.
There was a fuel leak from the fuel pump connector.
When I opened it, I found that the gasket was old and worn out, so I replaced it, and the leak stopped. However, the leak reappeared after 2 days.
It seems that the previous owner had probably dealt with a leak at the bottom part, and a transparent, hard adhesive, likely an "epoxy" type, was applied there, which is quite hard.
Now, I have ordered a new set. But if I try to open it without removing the hard adhesive at the bottom, it might break.
I don't have tools like a Dremel.
How can I remove this adhesive using more primitive methods?
