but you did the opposite of what taking the ball out would do

it will be ok if the filler hole can vent to the well around it but if the filler hole is sealed then you may end up blowing out some thing , from what steve tells me the f4i tank vents internally so theres no need for a vent on that but most other bikes need a vent

Sooo i basically EPIC FAIL'd.. You pobably should have mentioned that earlier, lol. I think drilling a hole top left shelf will be money.. No need for balls, its high so less change of gass spillage and everything will be ookkk..

the ball and spring always end up sticking allowing pressure to build in the tank and that pushes out almost any gasket but if the ball and spring are gone any pressure will bleed out the over flow ..

i mentioned it [see above] but yeah you can just drill a super tiny hole so the filler hole can vent to the well and any gas that gets in there will spill out the drain hole instead of on your ass ..as long as your base is sealed to the tank that is

[old man roger]

put it any where around the edge like the stock hole

I only pay attention 50% of the time so i probably missed that.. Oh well we will see tommorow if this works. Its in the cureing process now. I just want to ride like the wind, gas ass free.

SOOOO i go out to check my masterpiece and decide to add another layer on since the other stuff was almost hard and this is how it ends.



I think this will finally give me the motivation to call Bortner and order up that hydroturff to cover this hot mess up ! But im sure im leak free meow.

Holy shit man??!?!?! WTF?!? Looks like you used your tank as a shitter.

Do yourself a favor and invest in some masking/painters tape so it doesnt look like big mama took a shit on your tank.
