Gas Cap

[ThreeWheels]

I haven't got anything to add. I woke up this morning and I hit the "What's New?" button. Out of the 8 threads that popped up, 3 were about "Gas Cap".
Three being an odd number, that bothered my sense of symmetry, so I started this thread just to make it an even four.

See You at Spyderfest Graphic

What about the Gas Cap?
Did they change the color for 2013 or something?

Love your "See you at Spyderfest Graphic."

I was wondering if I should even post on any more gas cap threads? I am guessing no. :dontknow:

 

[arntufun]

Let me guess, the other five new threads were about Spyderfest ????? :roflblack::roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

Maybe we need one about the use of nitrogen in the tires? Tire pressures? oil brands? HELMET USAGE?? :roflblack:

Looks like I am done for the day. Maybe more threads tomorrow. :thumbup:

Gas Cap - Recall

A little off topic but I received a package from BRP today.

Opened it up to find a replacement gas cap with recall notice stating that the original gas cap seals were defective and fumes were escaping and were a danger of ignition.

I have a 2012 RT-S and live in Alberta Canada, so I expect a lot of people should be seeing packages in the mail shortly.

Save Your Old Gas Cap

A little off topic but I received a package from BRP today.

We got the new replacement cap for the 2012 RT Limited. Put on immediately. Tuesday, I had the bike out on a ride and filled the tank as usual. Rode the 20 miles home, put the bike in the garage and went in the house. An hour later, went in the garage for something and had to open the garage door. The gas fumes were so strong, I immediately got a headache. Have never had that problem before.

I'm sure that you noticed that it takes a bit more effort to tighten the new cap down fully...
Are you sure that you got it completely tight?

(Sorry; for what must appear to be a stupid question...)

 

[Bytemi]

So if I started a 5th thread to ask, why the gas cap is so important, would that be upsetting or would you just create another thread to make it even again?

Trust Me Bob

i got a "check engine" light on my Suburu WRX when I first got it. The dealer suspected a loose gas cap. Ended up being a defective cap. Since then, I always tighten all gas caps very tight.

 

[Bob Denman]

I just figured that it was worth asking; alawys check the simplist stuff first! :2thumbs:

 

[scooterexpress]

i click the cap at least 3-4 times but yet the gas seems to escape somehow cause when i get home the tank is empty after a 150 mi and i say to the spyder what did you do to all that gas i just put in there? his reply was:dontknow:. then i yell you think gas grows on trees.
