Very strong fuel odor coming from trike
After my wife rides her trike our garage smells like fuel. I can't find any visible fuel leaks but there is very strong fuel odor coming from her trike. The odor is so strong that it smells like I poured fuel on the ground. Anyone ever experience this?? 2010 Street Glide Trike.

We don't know what if any mods or tuners you might have installed.

Takes two drops of fuel to smell up a garage. Unless you have a CA model, there is no carbon canster and you will smell a faint whiff of fuel on a hot shutdown simply from the last injector fire at shutdown. However,you should not smell what you describe. Has it been worked on lately? Not sure why but mechanics tend to forget to reattach the vent hose. You need to lift up the dash cluster to get to it at the front top of the tank. You can probably check by lightly pulling on it at the steering head at the front forks coming down. It looks like a wire since most are more like a fuel resistance plastic then a black rubber hose. When I got my bike, it was off and did the same thing. Start simple. It is also easy to damage the o-ring on the quick disconnect at the outlet.

Thank you for the responses. I purchased the bike used. It had the cat removed and some slip-ons installed. However, I honestly don't know what was done to the ECM? Besides replacing a tranny cover seal, no other work has been done on it. We only notice the smell after she rides the trike when it's hot out. We live in Az. However, my Street Glide gets hot but it doesn't reek of fuel like her trike does.
