1. Identify the source of the leak: Inspect your quad thoroughly to identify the exact location where the petrol is leaking from. Look for any cracks, loose hoses, or damaged components.
2. Check the fuel line: Inspect the fuel line for any cracks or damage. Ensure that it is properly connected to the fuel tank and carburetor. Replace the fuel line if it is damaged.
3. Inspect the fuel tank: Check the fuel tank for any holes or damage. If the fuel tank is leaking, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
4. Examine the carburetor: Check the carburetor for any damage or loose components. Make sure that the gaskets and seals are in good condition and properly seated. Tighten any loose bolts or screws.
5. Inspect the fuel filter: If your quad has a fuel filter, check it for any blockages or damage. Clean or replace the fuel filter if necessary.
6. Test the fuel tap: Ensure the fuel tap is properly closed when the quad is not in use. Turn the fuel tap to the "off" position and check if the leak persists. If the leak stops, the fuel tap is functioning correctly.
7. Replace worn-out components: If you find any damaged or worn-out components such as fuel lines, gaskets, or seals, replace them with new ones. Use genuine parts recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Clean the area: Once the leak is fixed, clean the area where the petrol has leaked to prevent fire hazards and further damage.
Remember to take care when handling petrol as it is a flammable substance. If the leak is significant or you are unsure about how to proceed, consider seeking assistance from a qualified mechanic experienced in working on small engine vehicles like ATVs.
