Yea, mine has also just started doing this. But it only does it if I fill it all the way up, and even then, it will only last for 10 or so miles. So I just don't fill it all the way up. Although I would still like to know how to fix it.

You need a gas tank filler neck grommet. Over time they get brittle and crack. You'll have to lower the tank to replace the grommet. Not very hard really, just be sure to run the tank down to nearly empty when you do it. Makes all the difference in the world!

Here is the gas tank removal instructions. You will have to purchase a new rubber grommet for your gas filler tube as documented in the removal instructions. Good luck, Tommy.
