BMW F650CS: Fuel System
Affects BMW F650CS · 2002–2003 — about 213 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, if the plastic fuel pump flange comes into contact with a sufficient amount of acid or chemical compounds containing acidic elements, such as battery acid or certain cleaning products, the flange may become brittle. Over time, the flange may crack, and eventually allow fuel to escape from the fuel tank. Correction: Dealers will install an acid-resistant cap over the fuel pump flange.
