Gas Cap Leaking Fumes From Key Hole, Known problem??

[petevenne]

Does anyone know if there is a recall, service bulletin or warrenty on this known issue? I have a 99 Interstate..

From the most common Valk problems list>> "#13  Gas Cap Leaking Fumes From Key Hole.  Does your garage smell like gas? It could be the gas cap.  Honda has replaced caps with this condition under warranty."

Thanks, Pete..

they may have in the past, BUT.....i would seriously doubt that they would now.

I gain some relief from the smell particularly in hot weather by opening the cap for a few seconds before putting the bike in the garage.

I don't know of any bike where you will not smell gas emitting some fumes from the fill cap and/or the overflow and/or the vent piping.

Especially on a hot day when the tank has been cooking in the sun.

Shake the bike back and forth a few times and you will certainly smell the gasoline.

I never considered that a problem myself, just part of owning a motorcycle.
