I got rained on extra hard tonight. I had to slow down to 30 and put my visor up to see. I fueled up after it passed and as I flipped open that little lid, I saw a big drop of water land on the keyhole and then drain right through it. I wonder now if that bad gas I got in November was bad when I put it in. Anyone else have a similar lid? I don't remember my ricer lids as being that way. |

A couple drops per 5.6 gallons won't even be noticed.... |

Buell's solution to this problems is to have the gas BOIL off any H2O and it will evaporate out of the system. |

many xb's have been left out and/or ridden in the rain. ever been to a march badness? i can attest to personally never experiencing any issues with tainted gasoline due to rain. ether cuz any/enough of the rain water doesn't get in, or it is boiled out. lube your key slot with some graphite/WD-40 and keep riding |

I accidentally dumped a good cup of water in with a fillup on my Blast(long story), it hasn't exploded yet. |

i always make sure to store those pesky watering cans far away from any vehicle or gas can for this very reason. |

Picturing a Buell still with helicon furnace, mash in the frame, airbox/thump keg and the pods as worm boxes.
