Help needed - gas coming up from under gas cap


Recommended Posts

Update: it was the vent hose. I'll explain more when I get to the motel.

 

Update: so I thought it was probably the vent hose, but I didn't bring my hex set with me. The vent on my bike is under a chrome cover that surrounds the tank mounted speedo. It's held on with 3 hex bolts.

 

Long story short, I waited for about an hour until it was completely cooled down and rode it back to the gas station I had bought the gas at. The mechanic there took off the chrome cover and low and behold I couldn't blow through the vent hose. He gave me a piece of hose and I put it on and tucked in in out of the way and was on my way.

 

My guess is I pinched that hose or someone that called me suggested the gas stirred up something that clogged it.

 

Thanks to the several people that called me! Great people on this site!

 

 

I posted in the watering hole also, but I have gas coming up from under the gas cap. The tank is not over filled. Every time I try to ride down the road gas comes squirting out from under the cap.

 

I'm on the side of the road... Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
