Ok, so under the storage lid, which ones the petrol tank. One says "Liquid Cooled" and the other "Gasoline" But when i bought my bike, the lad said he's just put petrol in and pointed to the "Liquid Cooled" one and it had a slight bit of petrol in the bottom of the storage bit (it ran down from the "Liquid Cooled" Bit.)

But if you lift up that little lid near the catches at the back, it says Gasoline and smells really nice (i love the smell of petrol Very Happy) but the tank doesn't look like there's anything in there. The petrol gauge said Half full and thats what the lad said he'd put in. I would hate to put it in the wrong tank!!!

Help? Urgent otherwise i cant ride lol!

The cap on the 'bottle' in the storage space is notorious for leaking. Make sure the seal is ok and its done up really tight.

No, you will probably never use it unless you need to top up the system, or do a coolant flush and change on it every year or so, although I am interested in how you came to the conclusion that fuel was leaking, as fuel, even it is gasoline form evaporates, so would leave no mark really, or if it is dirty, a dried out mark where it once flowed.
