revrnd Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 http://www.dootalk.com/forums/topic/1512737-what-is-up-with-burping-the-gas-tank/ If that's all the OP has to complain about, maybe he should buy a '70 Oly w/ the gas tank up front. I don't think the Old Man had to burp it when he filled it up. Sometimes I wonder if it's possible to lose IQ points visiting that site? Are Totally Yamaha & the other brand's forums the same? Or is it an indication of the typical 'doo owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoso Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Every single complaint, be it about trails, sleds or any part of sledding is more than just a first world problem, it is an above average income earner first world problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I must say though, this would be a frustrating annoyance for me. Reading the thread, the members justify this poor engineering as a way to leave an air gap for expansion. I call BS. A captive air gap cannot allow for expansion, because it is ... 'captive'. A simple vent tube moulded into the tank would solve this. Imagine if you bought a small car (about the same investment) and had to jump on the back bumper to fill it? Is it the end of the world, no. Is it a reason to not buy a 'doo, no. But is it really good design? Again, no. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Top up that tank then let it get warm out. Fuel comes out of the vent tube so no reason for an expansion chamber as it’s vented. I know as I had fuel all over the garage floor a couple of years ago when I had a doo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR SLEDHEAD Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Tank under the seat and needs a "burp" to be ful, filling my Polaris requires the same thing. Is it annoying, only if you let if but yes I'd prefer it just filled with no futzing about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thing happen with my Cat. Fill the tank and although I don't push down on the bumper the tank is filled to the neck and you can see it gurgle as air works its way out and the level slowly drops. I refilled it a couple of times after letting it gurgle down and found that standing on the boards and rocking side to side sped up the gurgle. I then put the sled on the trailer and left it for the week with the concept of being ready to ride. Opened up the trailer and found a bunch of gas made it's way out the vent tube and was on the floor of the trailer. I guess that's why they say in the owners manual to be sure not to overfill the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yup, Cat does the same thing as the Doo. Best to not fill too much if you’re planning to leave them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I skim thru the topics, but don't dwell on it. Wayyy too many simpleminded questions or topics IMO. There are some decent/knowledgeable posters, the rest tend to drown them out.

Now just as a precaution when I park the sleds for a while, particularly if there is going to be fluctuating temperatures, I loosen the gas cap just enough that if there is a build up of air pressure it can find it's way out of the cap rather than possibly forcing gas out the vent tube.

crispy Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Everyone is a critic, almost no one designs and builds anything worth buying.

zoso Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 The tank does get full. Full to the rated capacity. Burp it and you have filled it beyond the rated capacity. So, it is by design, other manus just advise you not to fill it to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
