Gasoline smell from freewheeler
Yesterday when I got home from a short 35 mi ride I parked in the garage as usual in the evening, and the next morning strong smell of gas in the garage. It had sat for 7-8 days before I rode. Only had 60 mi left on gas gauge when I got back home. It had gone up to 70mph but not for extended period. Any ideas?
gas smell & spits out under cap on 2017 FW
Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to the trike, just got it and first day out while riding I could smell gas. Just before i parked it i noticed it had spit and splatted gas from under the cap onto the tank. It was not over full, and it was not hot out it was about 18 celcius. It was also hissing for a long time after parking. Took it out a couple days later and it did the same thing. We took the seat off and hunted high and low for a vent tube and never did find one. Anyone know where it might be? We also loosened the tank to lift it a bit and look under but still didn't find it.
Last night had a look at the cap and compared it to the cap on my husband's Softail and found the seal that is supposed to be at the base of the cap seems too big on the FW cap it's sloppy and I can easily slide it up and down, it's tight and stays put on the other one. I'm wondering if the FW doesn't have a vent tube and has a defective vented cap instead? Forgive me if that is silly thinking, I just don't know any better but I am eager to learn and learning a ton lurking on the forums!
