There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Filling Up
Don't , don't , don't........try to fill it all the way. FULL should be about 3/4 to 1" below the bottom of the filler neck. Fill it more than that and you'll be dumping fuel into your evaporator cannister and you'll start getting fuel smells .Put the nozzle just inside the bottom of the neck and pump slow , when the auto shut off kicks in....it's full.

Fillup
The general agreement is not to fill it up after the pump shutws off automatically, maybe one or two little squirts. The vent seems to be a problem if tank is filled all the way, over heated or ???!! To keep fuel venting problems to a minimum, leave the level down 2 or 3 inches from the lip. BRP says the way to keep it from dripping, fuming or "vaporing" is to not to "overfill"
It's been a problem for many. Just type " fuel venting or fuel canister" in the search block and read the comments for the next 12 hours.

:lecturef_smilie: By now, you have ruined your evap canister by filling it with fuel. Hopefully it will evaporate over the course of several days without causing a fire hazard. You cannot completely fill the tank, and you should never completely fill it anyway, it needs about 10% head space for expansion. If it did not have this, you could split the tank when the cold fuel expoands with the heat from the engine. Fill slowly, until fuel just starts to spit back through the slots in the no-lead baffle in the filler neck. The 6.6 gallon tank holds about 6.0 gallons at that point, which is consiodered to be full.
