55.2-59 55.2-59 Fuel Tank and Fill Question

[JP2120]

I can barely put any gas in it. The minute I get a little flow it shuts off no matter what pump I use. Is your filler in about the same place as mine in the picture ?

getting rid of the flap and opening up the top of the filler will help on the fill because you can get a better angle. That small slope is most of your issue and it has a 90 at end to drop into the tank between these two you probably getting some back splash in the neck causing the pump to stop and make you reset.

another thing you can try is after your remove the flap and open the hole up. try different positions of the handle. I had a ride one time that I always filled with handle upside down. it just flowed a lot better in that setup.

The vent should be enough at 5/8 as long as it has not kinks. and open then end will help with venting at the fill side as well.

Somewhat similar height wise but mine is mounted in the back of the fender. I’ll see if I can find a picture.

Edit here’s the location of mine. Unfortunately mine has been off the road for a while because I’m waiting for the right time to make some BIG changes to the build.
