Euro locking gas door install? - castone - 12-12-2011

Anyone done this yet?
I need to find out what to do with my old air vent tube as the euro one doesn't have a location for it.Huh

Here's a pic of the tube I'm talking about(little black one on the left).

maybe there's a way to retro fit it some how?

I had the same problem when I installed my billet fuel door....
I think I just zip tied the hose to the filler neck and left it like that

Thanks for the idea, I might grab a stock one from the wreckers and see if I can chop and remould to work, if not I'll prbably just zip tie it.

what's the purpose of that vent??


RE: Euro locking gas door install? - paolo - 12-14-2011

I have the euro locking filler flap on my ZX3, I did not have a spot to connect that hose, so I just zip tied it to the filler neck like everyone else did.

It's just a vent hose, when you pour gas into the tank, the air in your tank needs to escape somewhere, otherwise a fill up will take you an awfully long time.

If everyone else is doing it than so shall IBig Grin

Paolo did you take the inner fender liner off to install it?
Or is it accessible to work on with out taking it off?

I do not remember, as it was a long time ago, like 6-8 years ago.
