Speaking of drips

I have a black on black (no flake just black) Nomad and it really likes to attract the sun/heat. If it sits in the sun long enough I can see fumes coming from the gas tank overflow tube. The funky thing is the stain it leaves is black? I would think it would be grey but not black.
I tried the search function to no avail. Anyone else have this issue?

I've been puzzling over the same thing on my new 08. A little black spot right under an overflow hose and it smells like gas.

Hey Stewwdog!!
I just got the shop manual the other day. Give me a couple of days to see if I can find out what it is. I'm sure it's not fatal ,but just for curiosity sake. I'll post again if I can find somthing.

Thanks xgringo! That makes sense that the vapor run off is black due to it's origins. I wasn't too worried just curious.
Thanks again!
