Thanks for having me.

A question: I have a 2008 c50 Tramp Trike. I can only get about 120 miles on a tank of fuel when the motor shuts off but when I fill up I still have over a gallon of fuel in the tank. Is there something that can be done so I can get the use of my full tank of fuel. My wife and I love the trike but we have to keep watching the fuel gauge and worry about finding a gas station. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, ride safe.

Welcome to the forum from Western Pennsylvania. Check with shop about where drop tube is set possibly reserve Valve? You know how far(miles). Pay attention to the distance traveled

First Monte Welcome to Trike-Talk.....:clapping:....Me not knowing much about the Tramp, I would think the fuel pickup is too high in the tank.... Also Does/Maybe the Tramp has a petcock..?

And if so when it runs out of gas are you flipping it to reserve...

Monte, Welcome to Trike Talk from West Virginia.:wave4:

Your Trike (C50 Tramp) is Fuel Injected and does not have a petcock.

It does have a low fuel indicator light though.

Since you don't mention that light coming on, I would think that the pickup or something related to the in-the-tank fuel pump is not properly positioned.

The pickup could have a crack in it allowing it to pull air.

Did or has this Trike been sitting ?

The Green Fuel in use today causes major problems with plastic, synthetics and metal parts.

It also attracts moisture causing corrosion within the tank and those parts.

I would look into the fuel pump for the problem.

Hi Monte..welcome to TrikeTalk from the Texas Hill Country!

Lee H. Mann is one of our resident trike gurus here... maybe his input will help you get that rascal on the road rather than parked at the gas station.

Report back when you get it figured out...your findings could help others here who might encounter a similar problem.
