| While driving my 2009 flhstn softtail deluxe on a two week road trip, i experienced leakage from the gas cap after filling up with gas approximately 10 times. this leakage consisted of several ounces of gasoline running down the gas tank and onto both myself and the hot engine. this required me to stop the bike and clean the gas off with rags or risk a fire. after the first time, i double checked after every fill up to ensure that i had tightened the gas cap properly, however the leakage continued. after this occurred approximately ten times i decided to press down on the gas cap with extreme pressure with the palm of my hand (the gas cap clicks or free spins if i didn't) while turning it. this appeared to stop the leakage after filling up with gas, however, this is difficult to accomplish due to the free spinning gas cap. | |||
