what the heck is on my tank?
12/05/08 at 06:34:17

I purchased a kawasaki vn750 tank to mod to my savage, basically similar dimensions but nearly another gallon. And it comes with a fuel gauge. But looking at the tank there is a line coming off the back where the seat will but up to it. What the heck is that? It looks like it had a gas or vacume line attached to it. I plan on cutting it off and welding it closed but am I gonna get in trouble doing that?
Anybody tell me what that line is?

Reply #2 - 12/05/08 at 08:00:57 It's probably a vent line.If you look right where your gas cap goes into the tank,is there a little hole there?If so that line goes up to there.If so it's an unvented gas cap.So your overflow doesn't hit the engine.

I believe I'll rethink this a little. maybe that little vent lines not so bad after all, maybe I can turn it down sooner and run it somewhere to the ground? or maybe into a charcoal canister?
