I'm at my breaking point with gas fumes from my 2012 RT-S :(

My first spyder was a 2012RTS-SE5, I did not have any issues with the smell of gas or any other issues, I think someone else posted on this thread " that they did not have any issues with the 2012RT-S SE5. Deanna

A lemon or a grove of lemon trees.. I understand why people are doing what they do, the Spyder is unique toy.. but if there was some competition, bet your sweet you know what, BRP would have done something. How many people get a lemon car, and go back and buy another from the same manufacturer.. My swag... not too many.. I can see it now, my Toyota Rave 4 is a piece of junk, smells like gas, drive in the heat and my ass is burning up.. But hi Mr dealer, let me buy another one.. A'int happening.. Honda here I come...

they have a captive audience... but that may change soon...others will play in this arena... if they haven't already started.

None of this matters, when you consider the original post...
Why bring it up now?

Gas fumes

Just makes me wonder if some engines are running hotter than others I put the cat bypass and the air panels on my 13 rss (not much diff than an st panel wise). On a 90 deg day I had the gas smell when parked and my fuel tank was burning hot after the changes my temp was down one sometimes two bars the only time my fan runs is if I got stuck in traffic and now with the ohio weather I dont think my fan has come on. When I run down the road now at 55 60 I only show 2 bars.

I have a 2012 RT Limited an was having strong gas fumes. I wrapped the pipes and replaced the air box. That stopped the gas fumes an gave me better mpg. Now the gas fumes have come back and can't find it. I took everything off an got it hot but couldn't find it. Am going to do that again while it is sitting in the sun. I hope I find it. I am thinking of wrapping as much of the front & bottom of gas tank. RJ:spyder2:

Our spyder must have different issues, I had fuel fumes issue before but went away after I did fueled carefully not spill. Fuel smell will stay for a long time as I noted. I will do the #4 you mentioned and keep on BRP inform what's the progress with your dealer issues. Good luck.
