I filled the tank last week, and then took off for parts unknown, returned today and the gas is gone. No puddle under the bike, no gas in the oil, not much gas in the tank. What is the colletive thought on where thee plus gallons of cheap gas got off to? Now, it has been said I'm a real dip stick, but I did fill the tank and I even reset the trip meter. I have 18 miles on this tank full and just over 1/4 of a tank left.
Any and all idea will help left the fog,
Thanks,
Bill
 
No one was home, the bike was locked in the garage, the gas cap was locked on and the keys were locked in the house. Sounds like I've got a locking fettish, but I've got kids that feel that everything that is Dad's is theirs too. Keys and locks go a long way toward defining what's mine and what's theirs. So the kids git buggys didn't drink my gas. I'm still not outlawing the idea of aliens.:eek:

have they ever seen dad drain the gas tank using the petcock and a piece of hose by hooking it all up and using the prime setting?? makes a pretty clean and easy syphoning gig.
 
my money is on the aliens sitting in the other room. LOL I know all about being an alien once upon a long time ago! LMAO.
 
Good carb vents, bad petcock and good float valves and seats.
Or an all American gas huffing party.
 
There is no way that three gallons of gasoline are going to evaporate in a few days, particualrly in an enclosed space in a minimally vented container.

If the gas had evaporated into the air, the entire garage would have blown up the second you turned on your garage door opener or flipped a light switch.

Somebody stole your gas.
 
As I have stated, I am a dip stick.
My normal routine is to fill the tank and reset the trip odometer. Since I was going out of town for a week and feared my oldest know-it-all son would try to ride my bike I didn't want to leave too much gas in the tank. I checked the bank records, no debit card purchase of gas, I then remembered buying $5.00 worth and I must have instinctivly reset the trip meter.
No gas lost, short term memory loss, but that comes with too many kids.
