Geez. If mine does that I hope it isn't until the end of March when I still have time to check a '14!

Wow!!!

So what do you think the fuel is hitting to ignite it?

 

[tysons]

Mine isn't officially a fuel line problem but seems to be a good candidate to me. Took out a good chunk of my garage too..

 

[tysons]

I am not a fire investigator. But 2 are coming. There isn't much left to look at so ill keep you all reported.

Don't want to get too much into it yet as i have alot of insurance to deal with. Basics were fuel was coming out of right hand cover near bottom. Started on fire. Fuel tank of premium is alot to burn...

I hope the fix is not a clamp!!

So maybe the fix will be a clamp.............change. Looked real close at
mine today. The oetiker clamp that clamps the hose to the suspect nipple has the extruded part facing forward on mine where the ones I looked at in the dealership had the extrusion facing the back of the hose, a full 180 degree's difference. My clamp is right against my oil tank where the other ones had a 1/4 inch clearance. Still nothing posted on BOSSWEB.

what i meant was, were you just riding it and parked it there? just wondering why you parked there if it was on fire....or if you were warming it up and it started....or was it shut off?

I don't think we should jump to conclusions until we know more. Did the fuel tank start syphoning fuel out the overflow because of expanding gas? Or was it the nipple in question? He would have had to impact the oil tank driving it into his shop for that to happen. Hopefully he will let us know after the investigator looks at it.

Yeah all I truely know is that gas was coming out near the muffler. I had the truck in the box and dropped it out and pulled in garage. I don't want to post false information but the outcome is the sled is gone. And a good chunk of my garage

you had the truck in the box? or you mean the sled in the box and dropped it out?

 

[tysons]

I ment sled in box of truck. It's been a long day

 

[Summiteer]

E start or pull?

 

[tysons]

Yes dropped sled out of truck box onto ground.

 

[tysons]

E start.

that's probably what happened then man, when the sled dropped to the ground it must have broken that nipple off. I unload my sled when it's in the box by standing beside it, putting it in reverse and gassing it, she pops right out onto the ground all by itself....my pops thinks I'm nuts. lol

I was told by a BRP rep there is no corollation between this problem and e/start.
