Fuel Leak Help

[SushiFish78]

Hello,

I'm new to 1/5 scale RC and I had a fuel leak issue. My RC which was not in use for a few weeks and there was a small amount of fuel in the tank. When I went to move my RC last night I noticed that the fuel had leaked from the tank onto my chassis.

It's been hot the last few days here in So Cal. Will heat cause pressure to build and fuel to leak from the tank?

Thank you for you help.

Your tank should be vented, but it is possible your tank cracked as well. You'll have to take it out and put some fuel in it and see if you got any drips

Thank you Yp8ir. I will remove my tank this weekend check for leaks.

I do have the DDM fuel cap on my tank.

Just wanted to update on the issue I found. The leak came from a break in the black fuel line.
