 |  Gas puddle
Hey all, Well the Bandit is pretty much running great! I have a couple questions though. When I got the bike the two breather hoses on the bottom of the tank ran to the two vent lines on the Carbs. When I got the bike back from the shop they had routed the two vent hoses from the tank down so that they hang just below the swing arm. The reason I noticed is because when i got over to the bike in the morning there was a little puddle of gas sitting on the ground. I traced the drip to the vent hoses. I took the bike back to the shop and asked them about it, they said it should go away after a day or so. Well it did go away once the tank got to about 1/4 full. I filled the tank up yesterday and when I came out this morning the puddle was back. Anyone know why the vent hoses would be leaking fuel? I'm pretty sure I didn't overfill the tank, didn't even put 3 gallons in and it's a 5 gallon tank. Any info is appreciated, and sorry for the long story. |
