Point being, sleds are still junk. Nothing has really changed since I stopped riding in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of you guys see last years model leftover sleds at the dealerships with full tanks??? I think not, and they get stored over the off season empty as well. Bullshit saying adding ethanol will reduce static discharge, sounds like a QAnon theory to me FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually do have non oxy at a couple certain pumps though so you have to look around when pulling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if its the oil cap, or even if its oil related as I haven't torn any down. but there are plenty of blown up ones around.. Been told you can unhook the line from the pump and no oil runs out.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted February 15 Gold Member Share Posted February 15 Bring a small fan similar to what you inflate aerobeds with and blow the fumes out of your tank if you are worried. Gasoline has an upper explosive limit and a lower explosive limit. Too many fumes and no boom. Too little fumes and no boom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
