sangheraent Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I cant figure this out. everytime I fill my banshee fuel tank it seems like a few days of sitting and Im out of fuel. i dont have a puddle of fuel underneath so it hasnt gone through the carbs. Does it just fly away that fast? I put some premixed gas in a bucket a year ago and it went from full to a 1/4 but that took almost a month and a half. iv resorted to just puting enough fuel in it for a short ride.

lokisbuddy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I remember when I was younger my neighbors had similar problems they used to complain about. I guess what I am getting at is check to see if it is being siphoned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangheraent Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 with the amount of security around my bikes somebody would need giant kahonays and some serious break in skills. plus if somebody was siphoning it out they could just take it out of the jerry can that sits beside the banshee. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokisbuddy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hmmm thats odd man I would say check your filter. What kind of oil you use? I used to store gas in my YZ all winter and when I drained it come summer it was still there. That is certainly odd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boneyardbanshee. Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 your leaking somewhere. Check your petcock or your fuel lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstbanshee Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 turn your gas tank to the off position and see if it changes....your carbs might leak slowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidos76 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 also make sure your petcock turns off when its in the off position. My buddies banshee would still allow a small amount of fuel to drain into his carbs even if his petcock was turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokisbuddy Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Guys this is very important, if you wish your petcock to live a long and happy life make sure you keep it clean and stroke it lovingly every now and then :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05.Banshee.SE Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I got a new petcock. My old one had a curved section, not sure what happend, but it caused it to prematurely ejaculate my premix everywhere. My gf was helping me work on my bike, and it squirted her right in the eye one time. Yeah, she was pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DallasGDub Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Lay some cardboard down under it. You will be able to see if it is leaking and then evaporating. It will leave a circle stain on the cardboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
