This has happened twice that I know of after filling the tank at the gas station. When you get done pumping and stand the bike up off the jiffy stand about a 6 inch stain of fuel in front of the rear tire by the swing arm. It only leaks after I fill up as far as I know. Nothing in the garage. Is it some type of overflow or somthing?

 

That is the fuel tank overflow. If it is cold the gas in the tank will expand. Don't worry, it's normal.

 

overflow

 

Thanks Annubus your bike rocks and 13 has been a lucky number for me as well. Do you know why I cannot pump more than 3.7 gal in my bike. Isnt it supposed to have a 5 gal fuel tank. When my fuel gets low the indicator lets you know how many miles left to empty than when under 10 miles left it just says Lo. Ive had it down to Lo a few times and have never been able to put more than 3.7 gallons in it. Just seems like Iam allways puttin gas in it and the dealer says dont worry just ride it.

 

the fuel gages are so off on these bikes................go by mileage i look for a gas station at 200 miles...........

 

It's just the vent bleeding off the excess pressure and fluid in the tank, as it expands inside the warm gas tank compared to the colder fuel coming out of the ground at the station. Normal.

LOL at 200 miles you might be pushing to a gas station on a cross bones.

 

should be the same size tank as my NT

 

yeah i don't even really look at my gas gauge piece of SH*T but anywho's the one on my street bob very acurate, i dunno what they did form dyna to softail and 07 to 08 but my bones guage is worthless.
