Default Gas tank questions
WHen I open the gas tank I get a rush of air from it. I ride a 2007 fatboy. I never had an ijection bike and I was wondering if that is normal. ( I am thinking it might be the presure from the pump?)

It's actually vacuum that you hear. Sounds like your tank breather line might be kinked some where. Check the line to your charcole canister (thankyouEPA). If you dont have a manual you should get one. Good luck

Gas should go in the tank, not on the tank
