mpb Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I had to change my leaking under-seat fuel tank on my 90 recently. Since I replaced the tank I have been having problems filling the tank. When I try to fill the tank it fills the neck and very slowly runs into the tank. This means Im having to use a jerry can as I can fill it very slowly. Yesterday I unscrewed the return pipe on top of the tank and filled it, it filled quickly like it should. So the tank is air locking. When I changed the tank I replaced the breather pipe and the filler pipe. The engine runs and drives ok, so thats getting fuel. Has anyone got any ideas how to solve this problem?

western Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Have you changed the breather pipes route from the tank to filler neck ? sounds like there's a restriction in the fill neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Definately a breather pipe problem. Is it trapped or kinked around something ? Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpb Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Finally got round to looking at the breather today. I had managed to kink it when I put the tank in. Had to take all of the mounting bolts out of the tank so I could jiggle it around to get the kink out. Cheers for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
