I have a question for those of you who have worked with gas tank problems: I ride a 2002 scura, and when I top off the tank, go home, then park it in the sun, gas begins to drip then just plain spill from under the tank onto the cylinder head. I don't know if this is related to vapor lock or tank suck or whether I have a cracked overflow hose, but I'm not the most experienced gearhead and I wanted to ask before fiddling with the tank.
I can tell you that the tank does get pressurized with temperature changes (in cool temperatures, air sucks in when opening the gascap, in hot temperatures it is expelled). Also, when the tank is down about a gallon, I don't have this gas dripping problem. Any ideas or experience with such a problem?
Thanks a million,
