Are you talking about that brown smudge near the spark plug, or the brown area at the bottom of the jug near the exhaust side, or both???

Smudge near the plug was caused by the temp sensor I attempted to use earlier on... I'm talking down where the gasket is.

That is what I will be doing to rectify that little situation...

The tank was situated further forward... unfortunately the Triple Tree forks I have hit the tank right where you don't want them to hit the tank at that location.
At least you don't ever need alot of gas line to reach your carby...lol.
This is how much line I have to use to reach my carby with the 4 litre tank on it because of the different style of petcock on it...It also has a super long internal tank fuel filter in it so I do not use the external fuel filters...lol.
Alternative option is to simply put a little loop in the hose. I do that on my bikes intentionally. Never once caused a fuel flow issue, even when the tank gets low since the entire loop is below tank level.

I find that internal fuel filters tend to clog easy. I just use an inline filter.
I've been doing this for years now, even with the stock gas tanks, I just make sure they are completely clean before ever using them.
I also make sure that my gas jerry jugs are actually stored in a cabinet where there is no dust, dirt, etc. that can get on the nozzle and have a mesh filter attached before pouring gas into tank...I haven't had any clogs or problems in all these years now...I do take it out once a year to check it and have not found any particulates accumulate on that internal filter whatsoever, so I guess I am doing something right...lol.
