    Fuel tank vent hoses

    Reply Contact
    I'm relocating coils, etc and cleaning up front frame area where fuel tank vent hoses ran. Has anyone just rerouted hoses as needed and left roll over valve out of the system?!?!? Don't figure it would be any big task to relocate upright some where but was just wondering what some of you have done.
    Can you dig it?

    leave the roll valve off, connect the two tank vents with the stock tee & run the dump hose where ever. I ran mine under the tank mount bracket at the rear, over the battery & out the hole behind the right fender stay.

    I love this forum. I was just working on my left side clean-up yesterday. Doing a Ferraci dry break and reroute of fuel line and decided to reroute the vent lines as well. Thanks for the tip on the roll over valve.[:D]

    I cut both lines off about 1 inch below the valve and have had no problems with it that way for over 4 years now.

    On a couple of Warrior group rides after gasing up our bikes and parked in the sun i've seen gas spillage on the left engine case/kick stand from expansion caused by those riders that had overfilled the tank.

    My wifes bike was also done like this before we got it and we can not fill up on a hot day and then go eat or get something to drink or mill around. The fuel will expand and it will spill out all over the left side. So, we eat, drink, mill around and then get gas.

    Nice! Did the VBAK a couple weekends ago and was wondering what to do about the vent lines (tank still off). The AlanH mod should be just the ticket!
