Gas leaking at fuel pump fitting

[snohog]

I have a 2008 gs that has a gas leak. It looks like it is leaking from the hose fitting that connects into the fuel pump fitting. Does some one have a part number or know what the fitting is called. I did call the dealer to check on recall or part number but I haven't heard back yet and I don't want to haul it the 100 miles for a simple fix if that is what it is.

Thanks

Did you check the parts fiche on Max's BMW site?

Sometimes it's the quick disconnect but there was a big range of bikes that had the fuel pump flange crack. If it's the flang the pump has to be replaced.
I don't know if your 2008 was part of the recall.

The recall applied to 2005-2012 models.

If the flange is not the source of the leak, it could be a damaged O-ring on the quick-connect.

Also, a 2008 R1200 would be a Hexhead, not an Oilhead.
