fuel drain hose

nogiggy · 06-09-2008, 11:30 AM

still getting use to the nomad, noticed today after fueling up and getting home and after the bike sat for a while that I had a very small wet spot on the ground after looking around found what looks like a drain hose had a little fuel drip on it. Is this a overflow hose for expansion of fuel?

That is probably what you have.
I filled up the other day and went to pick up my buddy for a ride. When he came out he noticed gas dripping out of the over flow tube.
You should fill the tank only up to the bottom of the metal cup in the tank and fill while on the side stand. Not sitting level.

thanks I figure because the temps are above 100* today and I only live a mile or so from the gas station. I filled it to just cover the bottom of the cup and on its side stand but could not of used much up in a mile thank you for the response
