Screeching fuel tank!!! Where is the vent?
I've been hearing this embarrassing high-pitched screeching sound. I thought it was, maybe, a bearing in one of the cooling fans. It would continue for about 30 seconds after I turned off the engine. It was in the 90's today, here in Florida, and when I parked, I got down and tried to hear where the noise was coming from. I was down near the cooling fans, but no sound. As I was getting up, the noise got louder, and I realized it was coming from the area of the fuel tank! I opened the fuel cap, and there was a little pop, and the noise stopped. It's pressure from the fuel tank! I knew where the vent hose was on my Gold Wing, but I have no idea where the vent is on my F3t. Can anyone help, with some advice?

Carbon Canister is mounted behind left side panel at knee position......trace hoses from there.....canister purge valve may be hanging up( possible cause)....should be open with engine off to allow fuel vapors to enter canister. You can exercise it using BUDS......to check operation.

BUDS is a piece of computer software (Windows).
Located under a panel in the front after you open the frunk is a connector used to connect the computer (usually a laptop) to the Spyder. Officially, you cannot buy it, only the dealers have access to it. However, it seems lots of people have managed to get a copy.

BUDS! I thought I'd have to become a Navy Seal. Not sure I would be up to it, at my age!
Thanks for the explanation.
