Default Gas tank leaking on JetMoto 250 Sport

Anyone else had a problem with the tank? It appears it has a crack/split somewhere. It isn't from the cap, or the petcock. I haven't removed the bodywork yet to see exactly where the leak is. The lip/seam area around the bottom of the tank is wet with gas, and the top of the motor is "damp" from gas.

It isn't dripping on the floor or anything, but I have been noticing a gas smell in the garage for the past few days.

Well I found the leak. It is around the rear mounting tab. It appears they pinched the metal to hard when they seam welded it. It is right where the tanks ends and the lip begins.

All this time I thought the tank was plastic. What I get for thinking.

It feels like a pretty strong tank, but manufacture defects is what the warranty is for!

Man I wish everyone I've purchased something from was as helpful, and friendly as Raceway ATV.

Talked to John this morning, and a new tank is on it's way.
