Hello, I wonder if anybody has had the experience I had today with my immaculate 2012 3W with just 1300 Miles on the clock.
I was driving at about 40 mph and started smelling petrol: I wondered where the smell was coming from, my 3W normally smells a bit like petrol when in the garage, but never when riding... While I was thinking about the possible reasons for the smell, I noticed some drops on the left aeroscreen. I stopped the car immediately, fearing a possible fire, I noticed that one of the hoses on the fuel injection was wet. All clips where tight, no evident punctures or damages on the hoses. I carefully drove home and checked the fuel system removing the cover above the injector: again no evident problems. I re-started the engine, no leaks, I drove the car again and had no more leaks. Any idea about what could have happened ?
Can anybody give me a short explanation of how the injection system works on the 3W ? I think it must be an indirect injection system, with one injector for the two cylinders: is it correct ? What are the two plugs on the cylinders ? If there is only one injector, why I see the fuel hoses going to both cylinders ?
Sorry for these basic questions, any advise will be welcome.
