Author Message   Iamarchangel Posted on Saturday, September 18, 2010 - 08:35 pm:        Last couple of rides, I've noticed kind of a boiling sound when I shut off. The sound comes from the fuel pump area on the right side. Pretty sure I've never noticed it before. Any ideas?   Dio Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 12:14 am:        Gas boiling inside the frame as it takes on engine heat. Sometimes more noticeable than others depending on where you buy gas.   Blake Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 10:12 am:        Not necessarily boiling. Most likely the fuel pump cycling to prevent vapor lock.   Sifo Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 05:21 pm:        I've had gas in my tank boil before. On one very hot day I saw it boiling like crazy as I was refueling. It settled down quickly as cooler gas went in the tank. It was 103 degrees when that was happening though.   Iamarchangel Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 05:40 pm:        That's part of what I'm wondering. It's cooler weather now so it's not the heat. I am riding twice the distance I usually do, though.
