One or more of the many rubber grommets or vent hoses on top of the tank is trash. (or maybe the fuel gauge sender o-ring) You can get a kit of replacement parts from Volks Cafe that has all the required parts. You pretty much need to remove the fuel tank to do the job. Run it nearly out of gas first. My tank is out right now to do this very job. Hopefully I will get it put back in this evening.... Steve EJ22 -> '86 Westy "Escape Pod" |
