• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

SMS 630 Pressurized gas tank ?

What is the deal with all the pressure when i remove the gas cap? Also I can here that little one way valve behind the right Radiator "farting" into the Fugly Charcoal can on the right lower frame. I want to remove the ugly looking thing before it gets Knocked off. I heard you can .....but gas can siphon out that vent hose on upper left of the tank . Does the tank vent any other way ?
How many of you guys have pulled the charcoal can off your TE / SMS 630.? :thinking:
 
Pulled mine as soon as I got it home, and connected the hose coming from the tank to the hose under the frame with a double-male nipple. Some people remove the one way valve in really hot areas to keep the tank pressure down, but I've never had a problem. Once it breaks in a bit it won't "fart" quite as noticeably, but it will still vent and keep fuel from escaping. That is the only tank vent on the 630. Some tanks have another nipple further down the left side that is just a drain from the gas-cap area to remove rain water or tank overflow.

Did you just plug the port on the "intake" with a little rubber style plug ?
 
The gas cap is not vented, and I capped off the vacuum nipple with a vacuum cap. They come in assorted packs at AutoZone.
 
Gotta remove the canister, And the sound of the 630 belching after a meal of sweet single track isn't something to begrudge the beast.:cheers:
