I am stripping the 748 to clean up and fettle over these dreary evenings, can you please tell me, if I take off the petrol tank there are three pipes underneath, if I disconnect them does petrol leak out?
I have had two 748s', which both had quick release valves on the tank, which automatically seal when you remove the pipe. I seem to remember that the later budget model (748E?) didnt have the quick release fittings.

Good luck with the winter fettle!

my 98 BP has quick release connectors. they still leak a little bit when disconnected, so even if your bike has 'em, have a rag ready underneath to catch the drips.
Surely if it has a pump it won't leak other than residual in the pipes?
No?
Okay, I'm going....
yes, that's what i meant - not a constant leak, but a little bit of residual fuel comes out when the pipes are pulled off. not very much, but enough to make it worthwhile having a rag to hand
