FireHead Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 title says it all. If it leaks gas or does not vent then they can be bad. :thumbsup: Quote
polkaudio Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 My stock cap leaked at the mating surface with the tank. I fixed this by buying a billet cap with a rubber gasket. Problem solved Quote
CadillacBanshee Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Posted November 30, 2007 what about the venting? Could this restrict gas from flowing? Quote
Dave I. Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 your gas tank is just like a gas can.......if it doesnt have a vent it isnt going to flow worth crap.....get an empty milk jug and fill it with water..turn it upside down and see how the water runs out.....now do the same thing and stab a hole in the jug after you turn it over and see the difference.

Cory9584 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 take the cap off and see if you can blow through it Quote
locogato11283 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 what about the venting? Could this restrict gas from flowing? yes. if its not vented or the hose gets twisted your flow of gas will virtually be shut off. make sure your line is free and clear and that it vents properly or risk running the bowls dry and having more serious problems.

FireHead Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 I used a cereal box. Did it have a picture of Chuck Norris on it? Quote

CadillacBanshee Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Posted December 1, 2007 I took it off and removed the hose. When I blew in it it seemed restricted. Normal? I was able to blow through though. Quote

This is a judgement call on your part. Did it seem like the restriction was proportionate to the size of the hole in the vent nipple? :geek: Quote
CadillacBanshee Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Posted December 3, 2007 I tapped it around and dipped in it gas for a while and it was way easier to blow through. Hope the prob is fixed. Quote
