Auxiliary fuel tank

[Bedifferent]

Its a common problem on the R3T. I had a bike many years ago, don't remember which one, that had a similar problem. Helped it by drilling a few holes around the filler neck to let trapped air escape. Since you have the tank off you could try that. You just have to make sure you get all the metal filings out of the tank.

Isn't there a vent opening that is already around the filler opening? At least mine has one. Maybe that's plugged. Never had a problem.

Don't know, I don't have the R3T anymore. Are you able to completely fill the tank without stopping and dribbling the last gallon or so in? If so, you got a good one.

I'll check. My buddy had a R3T and his took fuel fine. I got back my tank and front fairing from the painter yesterday. I will look over the vent and anything else that jumps at me. Thanks

YEP Ill just stop gas up, hit the head, get a bite to eat and stretch my legs thats more like it .

Problem is Art, the last place to do that is 50 miles behind you, your stuck on a one way road with no way to get there. Not all of America is like the roads you ride.

There is a vent but is very small. Maybe an 1/8 inch. When I had tank off to change filter I drilled it out to a 1/4 inch. Tanks fills fuller now without having to feath r it in.

I've called a buddy to go out and get an ice cream bar. The little "stop and rob" store was a 2 hour ride away!

Was he a buddy or a prospect ?

When the wife and I travel on a trip, especially in the winter, I make sure I've got extra fuel, water, food and snacks, canned alcohol heat, a plastic bucket, plastic garbage bags to fit the bucket and toilet paper.

We were traveling up from Florida about to go through Atlanta one time. Being me, I said to the wife...we're going pull off, top off our tank and take a pee break before hitting Atlanta. We hadn't been back on the road for more than three miles when we got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in Atlanta for 6 hours. No accident, no nothing... just gridlocked traffic. There is something to be said for trying to plan ahead.

Aw THE BUCKET OF SHAME !
