Fuel smell source
Written by c172myp51 on 2/19/2011 at 10:27 pm

Rudy, that makes a LOT of sense! I've been getting the smell a lot lately, and
I've been topping off the fuel in an already warmed up bike after each ride -
then putting it in an enclosed shed. Your story might just be the answer to why
we get the fuel smell.
It really has been intense lately, but when I check on it the next day it's
usually OK.

And by the way, I cram as much gas in the tank as is physically possible, and
then drive about 3-4 miles home.

pushing the fumes out and we are fighting a losing battle to eliminate it. All
the plastic enclosing everything is holding in the heat from normal riding and
when we park we get fuel vapors out.
