Fuel spillage?

Recommended Posts

TractorDude

I have a general question about fuel spill on my C-105. I just finished restoring this machine and I noticed that when the tractor juggles around over rough ground, I am getting a small amount of fuel coming out of the cap vent hole. Not a lot, maybe 1/2 teaspoon os less. Is this normal? I know the hole cannot be blocked as air needs to enter somewhere but i wondered whether there was originally some sort of baffle under the cap? Anyone else have this condition?

thanks!

I would pick up a new cap. Yes, it's vented, but it shouldn't be leaking. Your old cap is likely missing the extra layer inside to prevent that.

This brings to mind whats on an atv

or a dirt bike . If your  terrain is rough 

get one with a bent tube.

No it is not normal. My C105 cap vents properly and never has leakage...
