farley8 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I will try that again dont know what happened with the post I have a triumph ST 955i on a 03 plate, i am having massive problems with the fuelling, i run the bike up no problems, about 20 minutes after shutting it off, the fuel tank is pressurising so much that the fuel is leaking out of the fuel filler cap, if you open the filler cap the petrol is spurting out everywhere. i have tried everything i can think of with no success, when i opened the airbox there was a small amount of fuel in there too. i had a 99t model st955 and never had a peep out of it the new one spends more time in bits than me riding it.... any ideas would be really appreciated as i am at my wits end with this thing thanx farley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farley8 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 everything on these things is built into the side of the tank everything appears to be in order but cannot see why it's not releasing the pressure, really odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
