I have a 14 TG and now after riding it and parking in the garage the garage smells like gas. I have to leave the doors open for a while to air it out. It didn't do this the first 2 and half years I've had it. It started this late last summer. Anyone else have this experience and what may be the cause and cure?

Months before this started I installed some different slip on mufflers, stage one air breather and a V&H FP3. I thought it was the tune because I have made changes over the 2 summers I've had it but as a test I temporarily flashed it back to the stock tune which should make it run very lean and I still get the smell. The bike runs fine and I don't smell this while riding. Only in the garage after riding.

 

start by looking at the quick release on the fuel line. check out the gas cap. turn the bike on while looking at the fuel lines so they will have pressure in them.

 

I have an 11TG, mine does this once maybe twice during the summer especially when the temperature is Hot outside. The pressure builds up in the tank and burps air out of the overfill tube. You should not be to concerned unless you are actually leaking gas from a leaking line or you have filled the tank to full.

 

Running lean. My electra was doing the same thing slapped the tuner on and no more blue pipes or fuel smell

 

Try laying off the Tack Bell bean burritos!

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. And now, back to some more useful replies...

 

My 11 did that And my 17 does that......But only when i park in the garage with the tank on reserve and the engine hot....

 

The more air in the tank, the more fumes I get in the garage. I call it "Harley Cologne".

 

I like the Exhaust/Mist n Shine flavor

 

Same thing only once here on my 14; when I opened the cap there was a bit of pressure there. Same conditions; partial tank, hot out. I asked in the Touring forum and it is quite common.
