Re: 09 Boss Hoss trike gas tank cap

Zyoung, it does it all the time, also living in South Fl, the weather is always warm to hot, but anytime I fill up will do it regardless if it's cold or warm, and when you ride and fuel level goes down, it stops, but running the tank lower, specially with this bike, is not really an option unless yo...

Re: 09 Boss Hoss trike gas tank cap

09 Boss Hoss trike gas tank cap

:cry: I have a problem with the gas cap, when I fuel the trike, any time I take a left turn, fuel will come out trough the cap, I think is because the cap is also the vent for the tank, it has holes inside the cap which I guess are for ventilation, but gas will leak through them as well, any one has...
