Fuel spraying inside of tank?? - 5/10/2008 12:11:35 PM    EdwardK   Posts: 187 Joined: 11/23/2007 From: Houston, Texas Status: offline Is that normal? I have an 08 RKC. It's been a little slow to start lately but runs ok and getting great fuel mileage. I had read in another post, that I can't find anymore, that made a comment about a possible fuel pump problem and said that it was spraying inside the tank. Out of curiousity, I opened the cap while the engine was runing. It looked like a driving rain storm inside the tank. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.  _____________________________ http://www.chromekitsch.com/ 2008 Road King Classic, Pewter Pearl, Rinehart True Duals, SERT, SE Air Filter Traded in my 2005 Nightrain, Vivid Black, V&H Big Radius, K&N Air Filter 45,000 miles Post #: 1

Took it in today and they found a bad oring on the fuel filter assy. Of course they didn't have it a stock and it was too late to order today. Get it back Thursday. _____________________________ http://www.chromekitsch.com/ 2008 Road King Classic, Pewter Pearl, Rinehart True Duals, SERT, SE Air Filter Traded in my 2005 Nightrain, Vivid Black, V&H Big Radius, K&N Air Filter 45,000 miles (in reply to oldfartjc) Post #: 7
