Had a great ride yesterday and when I got home and parked gas started coming from under the cap and running down the tank. Opening the cap released pressure and it quit but closing it just let more pressure push it out. It was coming out of the hole that is just open, not the o ringed one where the cap vent system goes. I see a tube going from it to the bottom of the tank and leads to the front hose on the right side under the tank that runs to the rear and just hangs under the bike. Not sure that should even have access to fuel from the tank but I'm not clear what the purpose of it is.
Thinking cleaning the cap vent should relieve pressure on the tank but not sure pressure on the tank should even affect that line?
Could anyone tell me the purpose of it and whether pressure in the tank should affect it?
It's a 2005 vn800.
