    First place I would be checking is the vent hoses between the fuel filler neck and the fuel tank......1 thick black hose and 2 clear hoses. Most likely they have gone hard and leaking fumes. Cheap to buy but I am not sure whether the tank has to be dropped to replace them. Other than that I have nothing.................

    I had this in my VT 5 Litre, it was one of the 2 fuel hoses that connects the fuel rail to the the hose that comes from the tank and the return line. They perish with old age.

    yeah i had some problem in my vs.
    had to take out fuel tank coz the hoses on top could have perished.
